Being a derivative of the famous IEEE 802.11 family of standards [1], which was originally targeted at indoor wireless communication, the IEEE 802.11p amendment for vehicular communication [2] still bears certain assumptions about the wireless channel which do not apply for vehicular scenarios. As IEEE standardization is finished, international harmonization of local standards is already on the...

The Second International Workshop on Data Management in the Cloud took place on April 8, 2013 in Brisbane, Australia, on the day before ICDE. The DMC workshop aims to bring researchers and practitioners in cloud computing and data management systems together to discuss the research issues at the intersection of these two areas, and also to draw more attention from the larger data management and...

The Theory of Approximation. By Dunham Jackson. New York (American Mathematical Society Colloquium Publications, Volume 11), published by this Society, 1930. v+178 pp. In 1885 Weierstrass announced his now famous theorem: Any continuous function j•(#)> defined over a finite interval (a, b), can be approximated in (a, b) uniformly and indefinitely by a sequence of polynomials Pn(x), whose degree...

We experimentally investigate the Jackson and Moselle (2002) model where legislators bargain over policy proposals and the allocation of private goods. Key comparative static predictions of the model hold with the introduction of private goods, including “strange bedfellow” coalitions. Private goods help to secure legislative compromise and increase the likelihood of proposals passing, an outco...

During the Mobies PI meeting, July 16-18, 2001, Jackson Hole, the Electronic Throttle Control (ETC) problem was developed as an introductory powertrain challenge problem. This problem has served mainly as a workhorse to understand applications of Phase I tools. In particular, Paul Griffiths provided a baseline realization of the ETC specifications and Phase I participants provided analysis and ...
