The self-protection multipath (SPM) is a simple protection switching mechanism. It distributes the traffic over several disjoint paths from source to destination according to a traffic distribution function. When a path fails, the traffic is redistributed to the working paths according to another traffic distribution function, i.e., the traffic distribution function depends on the failed path. ...

Current learner dashboards are mostly providing learners with an isolated view of their learning behavior, while we believe learners will gain more from a comparison of their own behavior with that of successful peer learners. In this work-in-progress demonstration we describe our design of a Learning ...

The authors expand on this by examining the causal effects of state fluctuations in self-control on subsequent risk taking. Using the self-control strength model, the authors predicted that depleted individuals would take more risks than ind...
