The name ”option” is a bit misleading, since it gives the owner multiple exercise rights at many different time horizons with exercise amounts on a continuous scale. We look at the pr...

Classically, the procedure for reverse engineering binary code is to use a disassembler and to manually reconstruct the logic of the original program. Unfortunately, this is not always practical as obfuscation can make the binary extremely large by overcomplicating the program logic or adding bogus code. We present a novel approach, based on extracting semantic information by analyzing the beha...

Zombie armies or botnets, i.e., large groups of compromised machines controlled remotely by a same entity pose today a significant threat to national security. Recent cyber-conficts have indeed demonstrated that botnets can be easily turned into digital weapons, which can be used by cybercriminals to attack the network resources of a country by performing simple Distributed Denial-of Service (D...

Behavior analysis—the science of adaptive behavior—focuses on behavior as a subject matter in its own right, not as an index of cognitive events, and is, thus, not dualistic. Behavior analysis incorporates several laws of learning discovered by researchers using single-subject experimental designs. I argue that behavior analysis can provide neuroscientists with an experimental and a theoretical...
