This study examines the role of online social network proximity in cross-national diffusion of offline protests. Drawn upon Valente’s (1995) network diffusion model, the study operationalizes social network proximity-based protest exposure, using the international Facebook friendship share data. One year-long onsite protests during Arab Spring 2011 are examined using event history modeling. The...

Hybrid control systems contain two distinct types of systems, continuous state and discrete-state, that interact with each other. Their study is essential in designing sequential supervisory controllers for continuous-state systems, and it is central in designing control systems with high degree of autonomy. After an introduction to intelligent autonomous control and its relation to hybrid cont...

1 Utilizing rich data on nearly 11,000 educators over 17 academic years in a highly diverse context, we examine the career paths of teachers to determine whether and when they transition into the principalship. We utilize a variety of event history analyses, including discrete-time hazard modeling, to determine how an individual’s race, gender, and their combination among other characteristics ...

First low-temperature thermochronology data across the central Patagonia and thermal modeling provide information on history of intraplate San Bernardo fold thrust belt (44–46 °S). Apatite (U–Th-Sm)/He (AHe), fission tracks (AFT) ages inverse indicate that sedimentary rocks presently at surface southwestern FTB have experienced a broadly similar history: i) cooling deposition time during Cretac...

This paper addresses the problem of detecting suspicious behavior from a collection of individuals events, where no single event is enough to decide whether his/her behavior is suspicious, but the combination of multiple events enables reasoning. We establish a Bayesian framework for evaluating multiple events and show that the current approaches lack modeling behavior history included in the e...

A manifesto is a "public declaration of principles and intentions" by a group of people. This manifesto is written by members and supporters of the IEEE Task Force on Process Mining. The goal of this task force is to promote the research, development, education, implementation, evolution, and understanding of process mining. Process mining is a relatively young research discipline that sits bet...

This paper outlines intelligent PID design for DCS. The design includes a PID algorithm with diverse standard options and algorithm extensions for wireless/event-driven control and for surge control. The core of the PID intelligence is adaptive process modeling based on model switching and parameter interpolation. The developed process model is applied to loop tuning, adaptive control, loop per...

The development of statistical models for continuous-time longitudinal network data is of increasing interest in machine learning and social science. Leveraging ideas from survival and event history analysis, we introduce a continuous-time regression modeling framework for network event data that can incorporate both time-dependent network statistics and time-varying regression coefficients. We...
