FABRIC: A National-Scale Programmable Experimental Network Infrastructure
FABRIC is a unique national research infrastructure to enable cutting-edge and exploratory research at-scale in networking, cybersecurity, distributed computing and storage systems, machine learning, and science applications. It is an everywhere-programmable nationwide instrument comprised of novel extensible network elements equipped with large amounts of compute and storage, interconnected by high speed, dedicated optical links. It will connect a number of specialized testbeds for cloud research (NSF Cloud testbeds CloudLab and Chameleon), for research beyond 5G technologies (Platforms for Advanced Wireless Research or PAWR), as well as production high-performance computing facilities and science instruments to create a rich fabric for a wide variety of experimental activities
State of the art of interpersonal physiology in psychotherapy: A systematic review
Introduction: The fast expanding field of Interpersonal Physiology (IP) focuses on the study of co-ordination or synchronization dynamics between the physiological activities of two, or more, individuals. IP has been associated with various relational features (e.g., empathy, attachment security, rapport, closeness…) that overlap with desirable characteristics of clinical relationships, suggesting that the relevant studies might provide objective, economical, and theory-free techniques to investigate the clinical process. The goal of the present work is to systematically retrieve and review the literature on IP in the field of psychotherapy and psychological intervention, in order to consolidate the knowledge of this research domain, highlight its critical issues, and delineate possible developments.Method: Following the guidelines by Okoli and Schabram (2010), a systematic literature search was performed in Scopus, Web of Science, PsycINFO, and PubMed databases by means of multiple keyword combinations; the results were integrated with references to the retrieved articles' bibliography as well as to other published reviews on IP.Results: All the retrieved documents reported clinical interactions that are characterized, at least partially, by IP phenomena. They appear to use fragmented and sometimes ambiguous terminology and show a lack of both specific theory-informed hypotheses and sound analytical procedures.Conclusion: Although the psychological nature of IP and its role in the clinical relationship are still mostly unknown, the potential value of a physiology-based measure of implicit exchanges in psychotherapy drives an acceleration in this research field. On the basis of the highlighted critical issues, possible future directions for clinical IP researchers are discussed
Adaptive Online Sequential ELM for Concept Drift Tackling
A machine learning method needs to adapt to over time changes in the
environment. Such changes are known as concept drift. In this paper, we propose
concept drift tackling method as an enhancement of Online Sequential Extreme
Learning Machine (OS-ELM) and Constructive Enhancement OS-ELM (CEOS-ELM) by
adding adaptive capability for classification and regression problem. The
scheme is named as adaptive OS-ELM (AOS-ELM). It is a single classifier scheme
that works well to handle real drift, virtual drift, and hybrid drift. The
AOS-ELM also works well for sudden drift and recurrent context change type. The
scheme is a simple unified method implemented in simple lines of code. We
evaluated AOS-ELM on regression and classification problem by using concept
drift public data set (SEA and STAGGER) and other public data sets such as
MNIST, USPS, and IDS. Experiments show that our method gives higher kappa value
compared to the multiclassifier ELM ensemble. Even though AOS-ELM in practice
does not need hidden nodes increase, we address some issues related to the
increasing of the hidden nodes such as error condition and rank values. We
propose taking the rank of the pseudoinverse matrix as an indicator parameter
to detect underfitting condition.Comment: Hindawi Publishing. Computational Intelligence and Neuroscience

Setting Wireless LAN in New Academic Building
This project is called Setting Wireless LAN in New Academic Building. From
this research, I will come out with the frequency of the Access Point in the building, the
radius of the LAN, the coverage in the building, distance between one Access Point to
another Access Point, cost estimates and locating the Access Point at the right place in
the building.
The entire introduction, problem statement, objectives, and the scope of the studies for
the project will be further explained in Section 1 - INTRODUCTION.
This document also gives further information about the system the literature
review/theory section. This section includes the features of the wireless system, the
benefits from using the wireless system, and the connection of the wireless system. It will
clearly state the person in charged for setup the wireless system.
The proposed methodology is then discussed in the next section. This section also
includes the tools and software that are to be used in developing the system.
Then, continue with the result and discussion for the next section. This section is
show the result and discussion of this project.
Then, it also has the conclusion and recommendation for the last section. This
section will give the benefit of the wireless LAN.
The references and appendix for the project also has after the conclusion and
recommendation
Digital Preservation Services : State of the Art Analysis
Research report funded by the DC-NET project.An overview of the state of the art in service provision for digital preservation and curation. Its focus is on the areas where bridging the gaps is needed between e-Infrastructures and efficient and forward-looking digital preservation services. Based on a desktop study and a rapid analysis of some 190 currently available tools and services for digital preservation, the deliverable provides a high-level view on the range of instruments currently on offer to support various functions within a preservation system.European Commission, FP7peer-reviewe
Race Cartels: How Constructor Collaboration Is Curbing Innovation in Formula 1
Formula 1 is in the midst of a copycat scandal: technology has made it possible for teams to reverse engineer clones of competitors’ race cars. This is a less than ideal state of affairs for the championship series, which prides itself on being the pinnacle of motorsport and automotive innovation, thanks in large part to the cars’ rapid rate of technological advancement. In order to address this problem, the Fédération Internationale de l’Automobile (FIA), Formula 1’s governing body, must increase independent innovation efforts by amending the technical regulations to restrict the extent of presently allowed inter-team collaboration. Worried that the sport was becoming a “copying championship,” the FIA adopted new measures that ban extreme reverse engineering methods. Because these new FIA regulations do not limit the degree of coordinated conduct between teams, this approach will likely fail to remedy the sport’s copying problem because team plagiarism is an anticompetitive side effect of this collusive behavior.
The FIA addresses the copying problem as one of trade secret misappropriation. By contrast, this Note approaches the issue as one of unregulated anticompetitive conduct. Analyzing the technical partnerships in Formula 1 under antitrust law elucidates their harmful effects on the racing series. This Note urges the FIA to adopt measures that limit Formula 1 teams’ ability to collaborate, before the “A-B team” phenomenon further diminishes the sport’s innovation efforts
Semantic discovery and reuse of business process patterns
Patterns currently play an important role in modern information systems (IS) development and their use has mainly been restricted to the design and implementation phases of the development lifecycle. Given the increasing significance of business modelling in IS development, patterns have the potential of providing a viable solution for promoting reusability of recurrent generalized models in the very early stages of development. As a statement of research-in-progress this paper focuses on business process patterns and proposes an initial methodological framework for the discovery and reuse of business process patterns within the IS development lifecycle. The framework borrows ideas from the domain engineering literature and proposes the use of semantics to drive both the discovery of patterns as well as their reuse
