TL;DR: In this paper, the authors propose a data structure to determine which computer on the network is associated with the alias, and proxies the call signaling and control messages between the callee computer and the calling computer based on the association.
Abstract: A proxy computer of a network can receive incoming telephony messages from one or more computers outside of the network and proxy them to computers within the network. Similarly, the proxy computer can receive outgoing telephony messages from within the network and proxy them to computers outside of the network. To set up inbound calls, a proxy program on the proxy computer looks for the presence of an alias in the call signaling messages, references a data structure to determine which computer on the network is associated with the alias, and proxies the call signaling and control messages between the callee computer and the calling computer based on the association, thereby creating a logical connection between the calling computer and the callee computer.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors develop a framework for analyzing the desirable legal policy towards proxy contests and apply this framework to assess the rules governing the allocation of costs in proxy contests, and conclude that the present rules, which provide full reimbursement to incumbents but reimburse challengers only if they gain control of the company, should be modified in three ways: to give incumbents less than full compensation and make it contingent on success, to make challenger compensation contingent on the fraction of votes received rather than on whether they gain board control, and to provide for more generous compensation to challengers in contests over matters
Abstract: In this paper, we develop a framework for analyzing the desirable legal policy towards proxy contests and apply this framework to assess the rules governing the allocation of costs in proxy contests. Proxy rules affect efficiency in three ways: they influence who will engage in proxy contests, they have an impact on who wins proxy contests, and they affect ex ante managerial behavior. Taking these effects into account, we examine how the three main dimensions of choice in the design of proxy rules - success contingency, neutrality, and the level of reimbursement - can be varied to make allocation rules more efficient. We conclude that the present rules, which provide full reimbursement to incumbents but reimburse challengers only if they gain control of the company, should be modified in three ways: to give incumbents less than full compensation and make it contingent on success, to make challenger compensation contingent on the fraction of votes received rather than on whether they gain board control, and to provide for more generous compensation to challengers in contests over matters other than the election of directors. We further argue that companies should be free to adopt rules more favorable to challengers, and less favorable to incumbents, than the standard proxy rules; however, companies should be restrained from opting for rules favoring incumbents over challengers.

TL;DR: This paper proposes a new construction of proxy signature whose security is reduced to the integer factorization problem in the random oracle model and demonstrates that the scheme is the first provably secure proxy signature scheme frominteger factorization.

TL;DR: This work proposes a new proxy blind signature scheme based on an ID-based signature scheme, which uses bilinear pairings of elliptic curves or hyperelliptic curves.
Abstract: Blind signature is the concept to ensure anonymity of e-coin. Untracebility and unlinkability are two main properties of real coin, which require mimicking electronically. Proxy signature schemes allow a proxy signer to generate a proxy signature on behalf of an original signer. All the previous proxy signature schemes are based on ElGamal-type schemes. We propose a new proxy blind signature scheme based on an ID-based signature scheme, which uses bilinear pairings of elliptic curves or hyperelliptic curves.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors evaluate one necessary assumption: that people's preferences coincide with what they predict will maximize their subjective well-being (SWB) and find systematic reversals.
Abstract: Are subjective well-being (SWB) measures a good empirical proxy for utility? We evaluate one necessary assumption: that people's preferences coincide with what they predict will maximize their SWB. Our method is to present survey respondents with hypothetical scenarios and elicit both choice and predicted SWB rankings of two alternatives. While choice and predicted SWB rankings usually coincide, we find systematic reversals. Furthermore, we identify factors--such as predicted sense of purpose, control over one's life, family happiness, and social status--that help explain choice controlling for predicted SWB. We explore how our findings vary with the SWB measure and the choice situation.
