Quilting Resistance to the Sleep Industrial Complex

The Military Industrial Complex

This paper reviews the origin and theoretical foundation of the concept MilitaryIndustrial Complex and explains the key issues involved in the literature on the MIC in the Cold war context. It then considers the implications for the MIC of some main post-Cold War developments, with particular emphasis on the arms industry, its structure and effects. It then assesses the degree to which the end ...

The Industrial-military Complex

Applying Automata Learning to Complex Industrial Software

Learning models of machines comes very naturally to humans. They construct a mental model of the behaviour of machines while trying out different options. For machines this is much harder. Algorithms have been developed to learn the behaviour of systems and describe them in state machine models. Once such a model has been learned it can be used by software engineers to improve their software. T...

[Development, health-industrial complex and industrial policy].

This paper puts health questions within the context of national development and industrial policy. It follows the idea of structuralist, Marxist and Schumpeterian approaches, in which industry and innovations form determining factors for the dynamism in capitalist economies and relative positions within the world economy. All countries that have developed and started to compete under better con...

Quilting Stochastic Kronecker Product Graphs to Generate Multiplicative Attribute Graphs

We describe the first sub-quadratic sampling algorithm for the Multiplicative Attribute Graph Model (MAGM) of Kim and Leskovec (2010). We exploit the close connection between MAGM and the Kronecker Product Graph Model (KPGM) of Leskovec et al. (2010), and show that to sample a graph from a MAGM it suffices to sample small number of KPGM graphs and quilt them together. Under a restricted set of ...
