Wireless sensor networks are usually composed of a large number of nodes, and with the increasing processing power and power consumption efficiency they are expected to run more complex protocols in the future. These pose problems in the field of verification and performance evaluation of wireless networks. In this paper, we tailor the mean-field theory as a modeling technique to analyze their ...

In spite of strong theoretical predictions, empirical researchers have found little support for the relative performance evaluation (RPE) hypothesis in studies of executive compensation. Some evidence supports a weak form of the RPE hypothesis that executive pay is positively related to firm performance and negatively related to peergroup performance. But, there is almost no evidence supporting...
