Consistent with movements integrating performance evaluation and improvement, the current study examines an assumption that more peer raters will produce better results or the so-called maxima strategy. This study examines the maxima strategy from both the agreement and performance perspectives with the intent of examining the role of feedback information in reliability and performance through ...

Three experiments investigated 3-, 4-, and 5-year-olds' (N = 240) understanding that their future or "grown-up" preferences may differ from their current ones (self-future condition). This understanding was compared to children's understanding of the preferences of a grown-up (adult-now condition) or the grown-up preferences of a same-aged peer (peer-future condition). Children's performance ac...

In this paper we study the performance trade-offs between conventional cellular and ad-hoc peer-to-peer wireless networks. We compare through simulations the performance of the two network models in terms of throughput, delay, power consumption, per-flow fairness, impact of mobility, impact of traffic locality, and impact of node distribution on the network performance. The simulation results s...

In Peer-to-Peer (P2P) file sharing systems, peers spend a significant amount of time looking for relevant and interesting files. However, the files available for download represent on one hand a rich collection for different needs and preferences and on the other hand a struggle for the peers to find files that they like. In this paper, we propose new recommender schemes based on collaborative ...

P6P is a new, incrementally deployable networking infrastructure that resolves the growing tensions between the Internet routing infrastructure and the end sites of the Internet. P6P decouples the two through a P2P overlay network formed by the edge routers. P6P brings the benefits of IPv6 directly to end hosts, solving the major headache of IPv6 deployment as well as those of ISP switching, mu...

The phenomenal increase in network capacity to hundreds and thousands of Gbits/s in the core as well as Gbits/s at the access, is soon to witness stupendous amounts of packets that have to be processed and switched at amplifying line rates. Looking into the future, we address the need for the integration of packets of larger size, called XLFrames (XLFs), into the future Internet framework. This...
