"... Inclusive fitness theory predicts that members of non-clonal societies will gain by directing altruistic acts towards their closest relatives. Multiple mating by queens and multiple queens creates distinct full-sister groups in many hymenopteran societies within which nepotism might occur. However, ..."

surface chemistry by gas chromatographymass spectrometry. We find that in both species epicuticular lipids typically could provide enough information to distinguish related nest-mates from unrelated nest-mates, a difference that occurs in colonies with multiple queens. However, in V. crabro, where

When Standing on a Moving Support, Cutaneous Inputs Provide Sufficient Information to Plan the Anticipatory Postural Adjustments for Gait Initiation

by Laurence Mouchnino, Jean Blouin , 2012
"... Gait initiation is preceded by initial postural adjustments whose goal is to set up the condition required for the execution of the focal stepping movement. For instance, the step is preceded by a shift of the body’s center of mass towards the stance foot unloading the stepping leg. This displacemen ..."

the supporting foot. In this condition, the cutaneous stimulation provided information related to a body shift towards the stepping leg. This increased thrust duration likely helped overcoming the non-functional body shift perceived towards the stepping leg. This result highlights the accuracy with which

Reputation and Imperfect Information

by David M. Kreps, Robert Wilson - Journal of Economic Theory , 1982
"... A common observation in the informal literature of economics (and elsewhere) is that in multistage “games, ” players may seek early in the game to acquire a reputation for being “tough ” or “benevolent ” or something else. But this phenomenon is not observed in some formal game-theoretic analyses of ..."

of finite games, such as Selten’s finitely repeated chain-store game or in the finitely repeated prisoners ’ dilemma. We reexamine Selten’s model, adding to it a “small ” amount of imperfect (or incomplete) information about players ’ payoffs, and we find that this addition is sufficient to give rise

The information bottleneck method

by Naftali Tishby, Fernando C. Pereira, William Bialek , 1999
"... We define the relevant information in a signal x ∈ X as being the information that this signal provides about another signal y ∈ Y. Examples include the information that face images provide about the names of the people portrayed, or the information that speech sounds provide about the words spoken. ..."

The protection of information in computer systems

by Jerome H. Saltzer, Michael D. Schroeder
"... This tutorial paper explores the mechanics of protecting computer-stored information from unauthorized use or modification. It concentrates on those architectural structures--whether hardware or software--that are necessary to support information protection. The paper develops in three main sectio ..."

Language-Based Information-Flow Security

by Andrei Sabelfeld , Andrew C. Myers - IEEE JOURNAL ON SELECTED AREAS IN COMMUNICATIONS , 2003
"... Current standard security practices do not provide substantial assurance that the end-to-end behavior of a computing system satisfies important security policies such as confidentiality. An end-to-end confidentiality policy might assert that secret input data cannot be inferred by an attacker throug ..."

Mediators in the architecture of future information systems

by Gio Wiederhold - IEEE COMPUTER , 1992
"... The installation of high-speed networks using optical fiber and high bandwidth messsage forwarding gateways is changing the physical capabilities of information systems. These capabilities must be complemented with corresponding software systems advances to obtain a real benefit. Without smart softw ..."

software we will gain access to more data, but not improve access to the type and quality of information needed for decision making. To develop the concepts needed for future information systems we model information processing as an interaction of data and knowledge. This model provides criteria for a high

A framework for information systems architecture.

by J A Zachman - IBM Syst. J., , 1987

With increasing size and complexity of the implementations of information systems, it is necessary to use some logical construct (or architecture) for defining and controlling the interfaces and the integration of all of the components of the system. This paper defines information systems architect ..."
