social consensus is implying on harmony and unison of people in a particular subject. in other words, if people in a society, achieve a collective agreement about their social rules and principles, that community has achieved to social consensus. in this research, feeling relative deprivation is imagined to be effect on social consensus.to examine the relationship between two concepts social co...

Since its initial development Kerberos has evolved to become the widely accepted system for implementing centralized authentication services. During this time the Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP) has become the accepted method for the centralized distribution of identity information. Organizations increasingly deploy both infra-structural components in order to support management of...

Participatory democracy refers to an organizational form in which decision making is decentralized, nonhierarchical, and consensus oriented. It can be contrasted with bureaucracy, in which decision making is centralized, hierarchical, and based on a formal division of labor, as well as with majority vote. Participatory democratic organizations have been a prominent feature of many progressive m...

We introduce the Consensual N-Player Prisoner’s Dilemma as a large-scale dilemma. We then present a framework for cooperative consensus formation in large-scale MAS under the N-Person Prisoner’s Dilemma. Forming consensus is performed by demonstrating the applicability of a low-complexity physics-oriented approach to a large-scale ad hoc network problem. The framework is based on modeling coope...

Opinion polarization is a ubiquitous phenomenon in opinion dynamics. In contrast to the traditional consensus oriented group decision making (GDM) framework, this paper proposes a framework with the co-evolution of both opinions and relationship networks to improve the potential consensus level of a group and help the group reach a stable state. Taking the bound of confidence and the degree of ...

The well-known procedure implemented in ClustalW oriented on the sequence comparison was applied to structure comparison. The consensus sequence as well as consensus structure has been defined for proteins belonging to serpine family. The structure of early stage intermediate was the object for similarity search. The high values of W(sequence) appeared to be accordant with high values of W(stru...

The cyclin B-dependent protein kinase Cdk1 is a master regulator of mitosis and phosphorylates numerous proteins on the minimal consensus motif Ser/Thr-Pro (S/T-P). At least in several proteins, however, not well-defined motifs lacking a Pro in the +1 position, referred herein to as non-S/T-P motifs, have been shown to be phosphorylated by Cdk1. Here we show that non-S/T-P motifs in fact form c...

Cloud computing represents a fundamental shift in the delivery of information technology services that has been changing the computing landscape. Indeed, over the past several years, cloud computing has rapidly emerged as a widely accepted computing paradigm. The research and development community has quickly reached consensus on the core concepts such as on-demand computing resources, elastic ...

Consensus is the desired result in many argumentative discourses such as negotiations, public debates, and goal-oriented forums. However, due to the fact that usually people are poor arguers, a support of argumentation is necessary. Web-2 provides means for the online discussions which have their characteristic features. In our paper we study the features of discourse which lead to agreement. W...
