Imitation is widely observed in nature and often used to model populations of decision-making agents, but it not yet known under what conditions a network imitators will reach state where they are satisfied with their decisions. We show that every which agents imitate the best performing strategy neighborhood an equilibrium finite time, provided all opponent coordinating, i.e., earn higher payo...

A Redirection Botnet (RBnet) is a vast collection of compromised computers (called bots) used as a redirection/proxy infrastructure and under the control of a botmaster. We present the design, implementation and evaluation of a system called Redirection Botnet Seeker (RB-Seeker) for automatic detection of RBnets by utilizing three cooperating subsystems. Two of the subsystems are used to genera...

Abstract The article presents the method of using a modified acoustic miss distance indicator applied together with set controlled aerial target imitators (ZSMCP) Jaskółka “Swallow” operated in Polish Armed Forces. described enables implementation controlling and testing new CZT inspect technical condition these, which are still operated.

As data sources and data size proliferate, knowledge discovery from ‘Big Data’ is starting to pose several challenges. In this paper, we address a specific challenge in the practice of enterprise knowledge management while extracting actionable nuggets from diverse data sources of seemingly related information. In particular, we address the challenge of archiving knowledge gained through collab...

An accurate clinical diagnosis requires differentiation between epilepsy and other causes of transient neurological disturbance and collapse, but the manifestations of epileptic seizures are diverse and there are many imitators, ranging from convulsive syncope to parasomnias. Nevertheless, the diagnosis of epilepsy is frequently straightforward, particularly when precise and detailed personal a...

While the idea that contacts matter in finding a job is intuitively appealing, we still do not know-after decades of research-how and why strong ties benefit job seekers. To resolve this confusion, we need to theorize how specific characteristics of ties are related to the mechanisms that make job search through contacts effective. We have reasons to expect that, while a contact's motivation in...
