Monitoring User Actions for Better Malware Specifications

We propose incorporating user actions to improve the precision of malware specifications and introduce a system to create effective application security policies based on the relationships between user interaction, GUI events, and run-time operations of both benign and malicious applications. Graphical malware such as Trojan:Win32/Fakeinit prevent us from simply allowing all user initiated acti...

Two Views are Better than One: Epistemic Actions May Prime

Epistemic actions are physical actions people take more to simplify their internal problem-solving processes than to bring themselves closer to an external goal state. In the video game Tetris, for instance, players routinely over-rotate falling shapes, presumably to make recognition or placement decisions faster or less error-prone. Along these lines, an experimental study was performed to tes...

Actions of vector groupoids

In this work we deal with actions of vector groupoid which is a new concept in the literature‎. ‎After we give the definition of the action of a vector groupoid on a vector space‎, ‎we obtain some results related to actions of vector groupoids‎. ‎We also apply some characterizations of the category and groupoid theory to vector groupoids‎. ‎As the second part of the work‎, ‎we define the notion...

Conceptual Model of Virtual Team Leader Actions for Better Technology Appropriation

With the availability of round-the-clock labor and inexpensive programming in India and other countries, software development projects increasingly take place in a virtual team setting. Adaptive structuration theory (AST) describes the process by which groups, such as virtual teams, use advanced information technologies. According to AST, people, technology and task structures interact, resulti...
