Security is one of the most critical factors affecting the quality of urban spaces. Nowadays, most of these spaces have become merely pathways with neither social life nor sense of belonging to it. Insufficiency of public surveillance along with weak sense of control and surveillance results in spaces with high crime rate. In the late 60s and early 70s, high crime statistics in open urban space...

This paper describes the design, implementation, and performance of Neo, a wide-area file system whose security architecture is based on the chit. Chits are instantiations of capabilities that capitalize on the strengths of traditional capabilities (flexible granularity, rights tied to naming, non-traditional identities) while mitigating the drawbacks (revocation, accountability, lack of confin...

This paper presents ENIAM, the first syntactic and semantic parser that generates semantic representations for sentences in Polish. The parser processes non-annotated data and performs tokenization, lemmatization, dependency recognition, word sense annotation, thematic role annotation, partial disambiguation and computes the semantic representation.

The experience of older persons’ sense of security in private homes and in nursing homes seems to be missing when it comes to promote aging well throughout the life span.

In this study, we propose a secure communication scheme based on the synchronization of two identical fractional-order chaotic systems. The fractional-order derivative is in Caputo sense, and for synchronization, we use a robust sliding-mode control scheme. The designed sliding surface is taken simply due to using special technic for fractional-order systems. Also, unlike most manuscripts, the ...

Traditional research on security has been based on the assumption that users would feel secure when provided with secure systems and services. In this research we address factors influencing users' sense of security. This paper reports our recent discoveries regarding the structure of the sense of security -Anshin.
