Apple: Web Apps bleiben in der EU doch voll funktionsfähig​
Eigentlich sollten Web Apps wegen des Digital Markets Act im EU-Gebiet ab iOS 17.4 nur noch eingeschränkt funktionieren. Jetzt lenkt Apple doch ein.​

On the Effect of Bounded Rationality in Electricity Markets
Nash equilibrium is a common solution concept that captures the strategic interaction in electricity market analysis. However, it requires a fundamental but impractical assumption that all market participants are fully rational, which implies unlimited computational resources and cognitive abilities. To tackle the limitation, level-k reasoning is proposed and studied to model the bounded rational behaviors. In this paper, we consider a Cournot competition in electricity markets with two supplie…

Temporal-Aware Deep Reinforcement Learning for Energy Storage Bidding in Energy and Contingency Reserve Markets
The battery energy storage system (BESS) has immense potential for enhancing grid reliability and security through its participation in the electricity market. BESS often seeks various revenue streams by taking part in multiple markets to unlock its full potential, but effective algorithms for joint-market participation under price uncertainties are insufficiently explored in the existing research. To bridge this gap, we develop a novel BESS joint bidding strategy that utilizes deep reinforceme…

ModZoo: A Large-Scale Study of Modded Android Apps and their Markets
We present the results of the first large-scale study into Android markets that offer modified or modded apps: apps whose features and functionality have been altered by a third-party. We analyse over 146k (thousand) apps obtained from 13 of the most popular modded app markets. Around 90% of apps we collect are altered in some way when compared to the official counterparts on Google Play. Modifications include games cheats, such as infinite coins or lives; mainstream apps with premium features …

Three-state Opinion Dynamics for Financial Markets on Complex Networks
This work investigates the effects of complex networks on the collective behavior of a three-state opinion formation model in economic systems. Our model considers two distinct types of investors in financial markets: noise traders and fundamentalists. Financial states evolve via probabilistic dynamics that include economic strategies with local and global influences. The local majoritarian opinion drives noise traders' market behavior, while the market index influences the financial decisions …
