How can we approach the truth in a society? It may depend on various factors. In this paper, using a well-established truth seeking model, we show that the persistent free information flow will bring us to the truth. Here the free information flow is modeled as the environmental random noise that could alter one’s cognition. Without the random noise, the model predicts that the truth can only b...

As JavaScript is highly dynamic by nature, static information flow analyses are often too coarse to deal with the dynamic constructs of the language. To cope with this challenge, we present and prove the soundness of a new hybrid typing analysis for securing information flow in a JavaScript-like language. Our analysis combines static and dynamic typing in order to avoid rejecting programs due t...

The integration of supply chains as a mechanism for value creation is largely dependent on continuous flow of real time accurate information from the customer back upstream to the manufacturer. This ideal is often unachievable when disruptions in the flow of information and materials are known to regularly occur in some manufacturing supply chains. This paper focuses on quantifying the potentia...

In the last few years, cloud computing has evolved from being a promising business concept to one of the fastest growing segments of the IT industry. However, one impediment to widespread adoption by enterprise customers is the threat of attack by a malicious cloud administrator. To address this security and privacy challenge, we propose H-one, a new auditing mechanism for cloud. H-one uses inf...

A practical and efficient approach to hybrid reasoning is to fuse different specialised systems that are designed particularly for different types of problems. We provide formal treatments to the fusion of inferences using information flow as the theoretical framework. The fusion of DLand Constraintbased systems is used as an example to demonstrate the ap-

Integrating the flow of materials and information is a challenge, independent whether it is inside a company or between companies in the value chain. The paper refers to different surveys that seeks to explain the growth of production networks. It also propose several definitinions and descriptions of networks. Control, information, and organisational aspects, economical issues, as well as geog...

Rent’s rule and related concepts of connectivity such as dimensionality, line-length distributions, and separators are discussed. Generalizations for systems for which the Rent exponent is not constant throughout the interconnection hierarchy are provided. The origin of Rent’s rule is stressed as resulting from the embedding of a high-dimensional information flow graph to twoor three-dimensiona...

Information leakage occurs when a system exposes its secret information to an unauthorised entity. Information flow analysis is concerned with tracking flows of information through systems to determine whether they process information securely or leak information. We present a novel information flow model that permits an arbitrary amount of secret and publicly-observable information to occur at...

The goal of this paper is to enhance understanding of how bodily actions between two social partners are coordinated in interpersonal interactions in naturalistic contexts. To this end, we introduce information-theoretic measures as a new approach to capturing sensorimotor dynamics in child-parent social interaction. In particular, information flows were measured based on a set of variables ext...
