Choice between reliable and unreliable reinforcement alternatives revisited: Preference for unreliable reinforcement.
Pigeons' choices between a reliable alternative that always provided food after a delay (i.e., 100% reinforcement) and an unreliable one that provided food or blackout equally often after a delay (i.e., 50% reinforcement) was studied using a discrete-trials concurrent-chains procedure modified to prevent choice between alternatives following a blackout outcome. Initial links were fixed-ratio 1 ...
متن کاملChoice between reliable and unreliable outcomes: mixed percentage-reinforcement in concurrent chains.
Pigeons' choices between alternatives that provided different percentages of reinforcement in mixed schedules were studied using the concurrent-chains procedure. In Experiment 1, the alternatives were terminal-link schedules that were equal in delay and magnitude of reinforcement, but that provided different percentages of reinforcement, with one schedule providing, reinforcement twice as relia...
متن کاملReliable Networks with Unreliable Sensors
Wireless sensor networks (WSNs) deployed in hostile environments suffer from a high rate of node failure. We investigate the effect of such failure rate on network connectivity. We provide a formal analysis that establishes the relationship between node density, network size, failure probability, and network connectivity. We show that large networks can maintain connectivity despite a significa...
متن کاملReliable Contracts for Unreliable Half-Duplex Communications
Recent trends in formal models of web services description languages and session types focus on the asynchronicity of communications. In this paper, we study a core of these models that arose from our modelling of the Sing# programming language, and demonstrate correspondences between Sing# contracts, asynchronous session behaviors, and the subclass of communicating automata with two participan...
متن کاملA Reliable Transport Protocol for Unreliable Networks
Unstable networks such as wireless mobile ad hoc networks (MANETs) are radically different from traditional fixed networks like the Internet. The success of these emerging networks is determined by the performance of the communication layers and the transport layer. For the latter, many protocols have been proposed based on adaptations of TCP for such unstable networks. In this paper, we claim ...
