Crowd (soft) control
2012
Proceedings of the Twelfth Workshop on Mobile Computing Systems & Applications - HotMobile '12
We present Crowd Soft Control (CSC), an approach to exert limited control over the temporal and spatial movements of mobile users by leveraging the built-in incentives of location-based gaming and social ...
After outlining the case for Crowd Soft Control, we present an initial prototype of our ideas and discuss potential benefits and costs in the context of two case studies. ...
ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS We would like to thank our shepherd, Vishnu Navda, and the anonymous reviewers for their detailed and helpful feedback. ...

A first look at cellular network performance during crowded events
2013
Proceedings of the ACM SIGMETRICS/international conference on Measurement and modeling of computer systems - SIGMETRICS '13
This paper makes a first step towards this end by characterizing the operational performance of a tier-1 cellular network in the United States during two high-profile crowded events in 2012. ...
Despite the use of portable base stations for temporarily increasing communication capacity and free Wi-Fi access points for offloading Internet traffic from cellular base stations, crowded events still ...

How Wise Are Crowd? A Comparative Study of Crowd and Institutions in Peer-to-Business Online Lending Markets
2016
Social Science Research Network
Moreover, the underperformance gap of crowd compared with institutions widens with risky and small loans, suggesting that crowd lack the expertise to assess the risks or the incentive to expend resources ...
Exploiting the randomized assignment of originated loans to institutions and the crowd in the online peer-to-business platform of FundingCircle, we find that crowd underperform institutions in screening ...
This strategy considers a role for the non-traditional and soft information, to predict default and goes beyond the ability of lenders to use listing information (observables). ...

Bacteria solve the problem of crowding by moving slowly
[article]
2020
arXiv
pre-print
We show that the fast moving cells of a hyperpilated mutant are overtaken and outcompeted by the slower moving wild-type at high cell densities. ...
In systems as diverse as migrating mammals to road traffic, crowding acts to inhibit efficient collective movement. ...
Our results indicate that the physical processes that control the movement of crowds of bacteria exert a fundamental speed limit on cell motility. ...

Soft Agents: Exploring Soft Constraints to Model Robust Adaptive Distributed Cyber-Physical Agent Systems
[chapter]
2015
Lecture Notes in Computer Science
Features of the model include communication via sharing of partially ordered knowledge, making explicit the physical state as well as the cyber perception of this state, and the use of a notion of soft ...
With Best Wishes to Martin Wirsing This work has roots in the joint work with Martin on the PAGODA project and soft constraint solving[1], carried out when Martin spent a sabbatical at SRI in 2005. ...

Users' Patronage: The Return of the Gift in the 'Crowd Society'
2015
Social Science Research Network
Again, at the time of the British and French "battle of the booksellers," the rhetoric of the gift still resounded powerfully from the nebula of the past to shape the constitutional moment of copyright ...
In this work, I discuss the tension between the gift and market economies throughout the history of creativity. For millennia, the production of creative artifacts has lain at this intersection. ...
We are moving away from a world organized around centralized control, strict intellectual property rights and hierarchies of credentialed experts, to a radically different order. ...

Secure Collaborative Sensing for Crowd Sourcing Spectrum Data in White Space Networks
2010
2010 IEEE Symposium on New Frontiers in Dynamic Spectrum (DySPAN)
Collaborative Sensing is an important enabling technique for realizing opportunistic spectrum access in white space (cognitive radio) networks. ...
The results show that depending on the attacker-type and location parameters, in the worst case we can nullify the effect of up to 41% of attacker nodes in a particular region. ...
