A Framework for Managing Predictable and Unpredictable Threats: The Duality of Information Security Management
Information systems security is a challenging research area in the context of Information Systems. In fact, it has strong practical implications for the management of IS and, at the same time, it gives very interesting insights into understanding the process of social phenomena when communication information technologies are deployed in organizations. Current standards and best practices for th...
متن کاملChaos--predicting the unpredictable.
This short article describes some of the features and history of chaos theory, with emphasis on its implications for predictability in general, and some thoughts on how these ideas might have an impact on medicine. In particular, it is suggested that inability to predict who will contract which diseases, or who will respond to which treatments, may be intrinsic, rather than simply due to incomp...
متن کاملThe Predictably Unpredictable Operant
Animals can learn to repeat a response when reinforcement is contingent upon accurate repetitions or to vary when reinforcement is contingent upon variability. In the first case, individual responses can readily be predicted; in the latter, prediction may be difficult or impossible. Particular levels of variability or (un)predictability can be reinforced, including responses that approximate a ...

Why do some products generate tremendous buzz, seemingly out of nowhere, while others languish despite multimillion-dollar marketing campaigns? How could a simple clerical error snowball into a catastrophic loss that...
متن کاملThe Unpredictable Deviousness of Models
Computation models are central to algorithmic research. A model, designed to capture the essential features of a technology dispensing with irrelevant and burdensome details, is a judicious compromise between simplicity and fidelity (or reflectivity). This approach has unleashed an enormous amount of valuable algorithmic research over the years. However, the pursuit of simplicity may filter out...
