When should states publicly attribute cyber intrusions? Whilst this is a question governments increasingly grapple with, academia has hardly helped in providing answers. This article describes the stages of public attribution and provides Public Attribution Framework designed to explain, guide, improve decision making by states. Our general argument that highly complex process which requires tr...

Function word adjacency networks (WANs) are used to study the authorship of plays from the Early Modern English period. In these networks, nodes are function words and directed edges between two nodes represent the likelihood of ordered co-appearance of the two words. For every analyzed play a WAN is constructed and these are aggregated to generate author profile networks. We first study the si...

The role of norms in the formalization of multiagent systems is to stabilize the behavior of a multiagent system, and thus they play the same role for such systems as intentions do for single agent systems. However, it is still an open problem whether they should be represented explicitly, for example in a deontic logic, or they can also be represented implicitly. Boella and Lesmo [1] propose a...

The current study aimed to investigate reasons for supporting harm reduction approaches to treating drug addiction. The study used Brickman et al.'s (1982) models of helping as a framework to determine the relationship between where a participant attributed the responsibility for the problem and solution to drug addiction and support for particular approaches to treating drug addiction. It was ...

Scattering from man-made objects in SAR imagery often exhibit aspect and frequency dependences which are not well modeled by standard SAR imaging techniques. If ignored, these deviations may reduce recognition performance due to model mismatch, but when appropriately accounted for, these deviations can be exploited as attributes to better distinguish scatterers and their respective targets. Chi...

User generated content that appears on weblogs, wikis and socialnetworks has been increasing at an unprecedented rate. The wealthof information produced by individuals from different geographicallocations presents a challenging task of intelligent processing.In this paper, we introduce a methodology to identify notablegeographically focused events out of this collection of u...

One important function of logics of agency (Stit Logic, ATL, CL, Dynamic Logic) is to assess the validity of arguments whereby responsibility is attributed to, or denied by, individuals and groups. Indeed, the vocabulary and computational properties of such logic allow us to express and reason on what agents did, or what empowered them to do (either following a strategy as in ATL or not). It is...
