SNMPv3 Can Still be Simple?

The Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) was introduced in 1988. The initial version (SNMPV1) is still widely implemented, deployed, and used. SNMFV3is now in its final stages of standardization. SNMTV3 allows new capabilities for open, interoperable, and secure management on the Internet environment, SNMF’V3builds on SNMPvl and V2 to include methods for security (authentication, encryptio...

When Can Splits be Drawn in the Plane?

Split networks are a popular tool for the analysis and visualization of complex evolutionary histories. Every collection of splits (bipartitions) of a finite set can be represented by a split network. Here we characterize which collection of splits can be represented using a planar split network. Our main theorem links these collections of splits with oriented matroids and arrangements of lines...

Cricoid pressure, can it still be done?

Commentary: How readily can findings from basic cognitive psychology research be applied in the classroom?

The commentary discusses phenomena highlighted in the studies of the special issue such as the hypercorrection effect, overconfidence, and the efficiency of interventions designed to increase monitoring accuracy. The discussion is based on a broader theoretical framework of self-regulation of learning that stresses the inferential character of metacognitive experiences, as posited by the cue ut...

IBM Watson: How Cognitive Computing Can Be Applied to Big Data Challenges in Life Sciences Research.

Life sciences researchers are under pressure to innovate faster than ever. Big data offer the promise of unlocking novel insights and accelerating breakthroughs. Ironically, although more data are available than ever, only a fraction is being integrated, understood, and analyzed. The challenge lies in harnessing volumes of data, integrating the data from hundreds of sources, and understanding t...
