Experiences with NIMI
نویسندگان
چکیده
NIMI (National Internet Measurement Infrastructure) is a software system for building network measurement infrastructures. Its design emphasizes (i) large-scale infrastructures composed from diversely-administered hosts, rather than infrastructures controlled by a single entity, and (ii) facilitating diverse types of measurements by diverse parties, some of whom are allowed richer access to certain portions of the infrastructure than others. We discuss our experiences with developing and operating the infrastructure to date: problems we have encountered, both foreseen and unanticipated, mistakes we made, and how we have adapted the design to address these. We also explore two key issues for developing a large-scale, extensible infrastructure: the problem of securely updating software on the measurement platforms, and the problem of constraining the resources consumed by different measurements. We argue that both of these can be unified in terms of controlling the behavior of the measurement software, and that the most promising approach for doing so appears to require writing measurement software in a “safe” language such as Java or Python.

متن کاملWhat does not happen: quantifying embodied engagement using NIMI and self-adaptors
Previous research into the quantification of embodied intellectual and emotional engagement using non-verbal movement parameters has not yielded consistent results across different studies. Our research introduces NIMI (Non-Instrumental Movement Inhibition) as an alternative parameter. We propose that the absence of certain types of possible movements can be a more holistic proxy for cognitive ...

Introduction Syndromic surveillance has demonstrated utility for situational awareness for non-infectious conditions, including tracking and monitoring gun-related violence and homicides1. While New York State reports an overall decrease in gun-related crimes2, in NYC identifying smaller scale aberrations of gunshot-related violence can prompt more efficient response by city groups. We examined...
متن کاملNon-Instrumental Movement Inhibition (NIMI) Differentially Suppresses Head and Thigh Movements during Screenic Engagement: Dependence on Interaction
BACKGROUND Estimating engagement levels from postural micromovements has been summarized by some researchers as: increased proximity to the screen is a marker for engagement, while increased postural movement is a signal for disengagement or negative affect. However, these findings are inconclusive: the movement hypothesis challenges other findings of dyadic interaction in humans, and experimen...
