An Experiment in Latency Reduction
1,2 Communication latency can be reduced by increasing bandwidth via a sender-based anticipation technique called Parallel Communication. Here we apply this method to anonymous FTP. Our analysis of log files indicates that latency can be reduced to 2 round-trip times, as small as 0.6 round-trip time/file, for a 7x increase in bandwidth. This technique applies to up to 95% of the FTP traffic. Th...
متن کاملInvestigations on Rating Computer Sciences Conferences: An Experiment with the Microsoft Academic Graph Dataset
The rating of Computer Science (CS) conferences are important as it influences how papers published at the conferences and may also be used to evaluate research. In this paper, we proposed a method, rsIT, based on a small given set of top conference (pivots) and a relatedness measure based this set as well as basic baseline methods using citation count and field rating. We experimented with a s...
متن کاملOn Delays in Project Completion With Cost Reduction: An Experiment
We examine the voluntary provision of a public project via binary contributions when contributions may be made over multiple periods. In many situations, early contributors are likely to pay a higher cost than those who wait. We show that in such circumstances the provision of the project always involves delay. Since this game involves coordination on complex, dynamic strategies in the face of ...
متن کاملAn experiment on strategic capacity reduction †
A firm may strategically decrease capacity to gain bargaining power over its suppliers. Equilibrium models of competition imply that the incentive to reduce capacity to gain buyer power is small because the buyer captures all available surplus by excluding even a single supplier. However, these models can rest on behaviorally untenable actions prescribed to suppliers in equilibrium. In this pap...
متن کاملGroup Decision Making Under Risk: An Experiment with Student Couples
In an experiment, we study risk-taking of cohabitating student couples, finding that couples’ decisions are closer to risk-neutrality than single partners’ decisions. This finding is similar to earlier experiments with randomly assigned groups, corroborating external validity of earlier results. JEL Classification: C91; C92.
