Privacy-preserving scheme for mobile ad hoc networks
2011
This paper proposes a decentralized trust establishment protocol for mobile ad hoc networks (MANETs), where nodes establish security associations. In order to achieve privacy and security, we use homomorphic encryption and polynomial intersection so as to find the intersection of two sets. The first set represents a list of recommenders of the initiator and the second set is a list of trusted recommenders of the responder. The intersection of the sets represents a list of nodes that recommend the first node and their recommendations are trusted by the second node. In our experimental results we show that our scheme is effective even if there are 30 trusted nodes.

The Evaluation of Workers by Customers as a Method of Control and Monitoring in the Firm: Digital Reputation and Data Protection
2018
Evaluation of workers by customers as a method of surveillance and control and the disclosure of results poses a series of challenges for the existing legal system. The degree and extension of monitoring of the work suffered by employees subject to surveillance and control by customers is much intense than the one set for traditional workers. The reason behind this phenomenon lies in the perspective of the customers, which makes work observable at every moment and without cost for the firm. Thus, this paper analyzes the latest regulation on data protection (GDPR) that establishes very specific restrictions when requesting and transferring information about workers.
The "very loyal pinot": historical trajectory of a mythic grape variety of Burgundy
2019
Grape varieties began to appear in historical sources at the end of Middle Ages. In Burgundy, early mentions of pinot correspond to an evolution in the way wines were named. From the 14th century onwards, pinot wines have persistently demonstrated to express elements of superior quality. This variety is often offered at expensive prices due to the nature of its rarity, and as a result is commonly reserved explicity for the élites. However, it is suggested that the roles of The Dukes of Burgundy, concerning the promotion of grape varieties, is to be moderated. Therefore, if Philippe le Hardi’s proclamation condemns « the very bad and very disloyal plant called gaamez » then, it is evident th…

Measuring the Reputation of Top US Business Schools: A MIMIC Modeling Approach
2009
This article examines predictors of the reputation of top US business schools as perceived by three different stakeholders: business school deans, MBA candidates, and recruiters of MBA graduates. Reputation is modeled and later estimated via a Multiple Indicators and Multiple Causes model using LISREL methodology. The outcomes of the study show that the reputation of a business school is a unidimensional construct, implying homogeneity in the perceptions of the stakeholders analyzed, and fundamentally hinges on two antecedents: quality of students and position in the business school media rankings.
