An attack graph represents all known sequences of actions that compromise a system in form of an and-or graph. We assume that each action in the attack graph has a specified cost and probability of success and propose an algorithm for computing an action selection policy minimizing the expected cost of performing an attack. We model the problem as a finite horizon MDP and use forward search wit...

In the realm of philosophy and other theoretical discourses, there are many different paths to the turn from the modern to the postmodern, representing a complex genealogy of diverse and often divergent trails through different disciplines and cultural terrains. One pathway moves through an irrationalist tradition from romanticism to existentialism to French postmodernism via the figures of Nie...

Special relativity predicts a very small influence of temperature on mass around ${\Delta}m/m{\approx}10^{-14}$. More than 100 years ago, experiments were performed that revealed limit $<10^{-8}$ for changes few degree at room temperature. A similar was obtained with magnetic suspension balance cryogenic temperatures. Recently, some measurements claim to have seen negative dependence the $10^{-...
