Firewalls are one of the most common mechanisms used to protect the network from unauthorized access and security threats. Nowadays, time-based firewall policies are widely in use in many firewalls such as CISCO ACLs and Linux iptables to control network traffic with respect to time. However, network administrators struggle to maintain the firewall policies due to their high complexity. A confl...

Our cognitive abilities in performing tasks are influenced by experienced competition/conflict between behavioral choices. To determine the role of the anterior cingulate cortex (ACC) and dorsolateral prefrontal cortex (DLPFC) in the conflict detection-resolution process, we conducted complementary lesion and single-cell recording studies in monkeys that were resolving a conflict between two ru...

This paper addresses the problem of integration of multiple heterogeneous information sources. The sources may conflict with each other on the following three levels: their schema, data representation, or data themselves. Most of the approaches in this area of research resolve inconsistencies among different schemas and data representations, and ignore the possibility of data-level conflict alt...

For widespread success of the model-driven paradigm, appropriate tools such as Version Control Systems allowing for consistency maintenance between concurrently edited model versions are required to adequately support a model-based development process. Initial attempts for graph-based versioning of model artifacts, however, perform conflict detection mainly on basis of the models’ syntax withou...

In this deliverable we study algorithms for mid-term aircraft conflict detection. A twoaircraft conflict occurs when some prescribed separation distance between two aircraft is violated. In a mid-term time scale, the contribution of the different sources of uncertainty affecting the aircraft motion cannot be neglected when predicting the aircraft future positions. Based on this consideration, w...

Group-focused moral foundations (GMFs) - moral values that help protect the group's welfare - sharply divide conservatives from liberals and religiously devout from non-believers. However, there is little evidence about what drives this divide. Moral foundations theory and the model of motivated social cognition both associate group-focused moral foundations with differences in conflict detecti...

Despite the existence of speech errors, verbal communication is successful because speakers can detect (and correct) their errors. The standard theory of speech-error detection, the perceptual-loop account, posits that the comprehension system monitors production output for errors. Such a comprehension-based monitor, however, cannot explain the double dissociation between comprehension and erro...

Home and Building Automation Systems (HBAS) are becoming of widespread adoption. When distinct users interact with such systems, their intentions are likely to be different, often resulting in conflicting situations, which the systems ought to recognize and resolve automatically. This work aims at investigating conflict in HBAS and creating a solution to detect and resolve them. Herein, we revi...

Behavioral conflict is one of the key issues in the practical application of AOP (Aspect-Oriented Programming) technology. Based on the ideas of design by contract and behavioral subtyping, we propose an approach that detects the behavioral conflict automatically at runtime. Use Java annotation to describe the contracts of the base program and aspect code, then extract these contracts through t...

In conflict tasks such as the Stroop, the Eriksen flanker or the Simon task, it is generally observed that the detection of conflict in the current trial reduces the impact of conflicting information in the subsequent trial; a phenomenon termed conflict adaptation. This higher-order cognitive control function has been assumed to be restricted to cases where conflict is experienced consciously. ...
