As the popularity of social networking sites (SNSs) continues to grow, the research on what affects user intentions is also experiencing increased attention. This study investigates the effect of privacy and trust in other SNS users on trust in the SNS and the relationship between trust in the SNS, social norms and the intention to use an SNS. Data collected from online surveys were analyzed us...

Electronic Invoice Presentment and Payment (EIPP) can assist corporate treasurers in cash management and can be integrated with e-marketplaces and other B2B financial settlement activities. Its interactive approach to dispute resolution and robust payment options are critical if corporate financiers are to secure the advantages of B2B marketplaces and straight through processing (STP). Cash man...

Strongly influenced by a Quinean naturalism, I have presented two arguments against the a priori: first, I claim to undermine the motivation for the a priori; second, I claim to demonstrate the obscurity of the a priori (1996, 1998, 2002, 2005a,b, 2011, 2012). 1 Carrie Jenkins (this volume) is critical of both arguments. Drawing to some extent on her interesting book Grounding Concepts: An Empi...

We postulate that regulatory compliance pressures that have forced information security out of obscurity and into the corporate boardroom provide economic justification for information security firms to innovate. We aim to establish the link between regulations and innovation through the intermediary of demand for information security products and services. First, we show from the results of a ...

Program obfuscation is a widely employed approach for software intellectual property protection. However, general obfuscation methods (e.g., lexical obfuscation, control obfuscation) implemented in mainstream obfuscation tools are heuristic and have little security guarantee. Recently in 2013, Garg et al. have achieved a breakthrough in secure program obfuscation with a graded encoding mechanis...

In this paper we solve the following open problem: we prove that equivalence in the logic of Temporal Here-and-There (THT) is not only a sufficient, but also a necessary condition for strong equivalence of two Temporal Equilibrium Logic (TEL) theories. This result has allowed constructing a tool, ABSTEM, that can be used to check different types of equivalence between two arbitrary temporal the...

Blet is a puzzle. One starts with an even number of coins, laid out in a circle. At first, the coins are laid out with heads and tails alternating (HTHTHT. . .HT). Each turn, you are allowed to take three consecutive coins that show tails-heads-tails and flip them over, getting heads-tails-heads. This increases the total number of heads by one. You may do the opposite, flipping a heads-tails-he...
