The aim of this research is to investigate the role of strong organizational cultures in setting information systems security goals. In doing so, it explores and discusses the concept of strong culture within three financial organizations with different social organizational structures and seeks to demonstrate the importance of having a strong culture in setting efficiently information security...

Researchers and practitioners from both the artificial intelligence and pervasive computing communities have been paying increasing attention to the task of inferring users’ high-level goals from low-level sensor readings. A common assumption made by most approaches is that a user either has a single goal in mind, or achieves several goals sequentially. However, in real-world environments, a us...

the investigation of relationship between political and administrative subsystems in the 'supreme model' of governance during history of humankind contribute to designing and modeling of better models of governance and administration. this model is retrieved in imam ali's words and manners. the present study seeks to investigate and describe the appropriate relationship between e...

The algorave movement has received international exposure in the last two years, including a series of concerts in Europe and beyond, and press coverage in a number of media. This paper seeks to illuminate some of the historical precedents to the scene, its primary aesthetic goals, and the divergent technological and musical approaches of representative participants. We keep in mind the novel p...

Cognitive scientists, AI researchers in particular, have long-recognized the enormous benefits of modularity (e.g., Simon, 1969), as well as the need for self-organization (Samuel, 1967) in creating artifacts whose complexity approaches that of human intelligence. And yet these two goals seem almost incompatible, since truly modular systems are usually designed, and systems that truly learn are...

one of the goals of comparative literature is to investigate the common and different aspects of cultural and historical background of people to better discover the connection between nations and civilizations. this paper compares the similarities in life and poetry of the two iranian & arbic poets sa' d salman & abu f oras hamdan both imprisoned for long period of time.

This paper describes an algebraic approach to the security engineering of lattice policies. The approach extends earlier lattice and algebraic work [13, 20, 24], and has two main goals. First, it seeks to model access control policies with anti-symmetry, reflexivity and transitivity exceptions using a lattice, and to propose an information flow security definition for the resulting set (POL) of...
