Theory of deferred action: Agent-based simulation model for designing complex adaptive systems
Deferred action is the axiom that agents act in emergent organisation to achieve predetermined goals. Enabling deferred action in designed artificial complex adaptive systems like business organisations and IS is problematical. Emergence is an intractable problem for designers because it cannot be predicted. We develop proof-of-concept, conceptual proto-agent model, of emergent organisation and emergent IS to understand better design principles to enable deferred action as a mechanism for coping with emergence in artefacts. We focus on understanding the effect of emergence when designing artificial complex adaptive systems by developing an exploratory proto-agent model and evaluate its suitability for implementation as agent-based simulation
Emergence of Spontaneously Broken Supersymmetry on an Anti-D3-Brane in KKLT dS Vacua
The KKLT construction of de Sitter vacua includes an uplifting term coming
from an anti-D3-brane. Here we show how this term can arise via spontaneous
breaking of supersymmetry, based on the emergence of a nilpotent chiral
supermultiplet on the world-volume of the anti-D3-brane. We establish and use
the fact that both the DBI as well as the WZ term, with account of
orientifolding, acquire a form of the Volkov-Akulov action. For an O3
orientifold involution of we demonstrate the cancellation
between the fermionic parts of the DBI and WZ term for the D3-brane action. For
the anti-D3-brane we show that the DBI action and the WZ action combine and
lead to the emergence of the goldstino multiplet which is responsible for
spontaneous breaking of supersymmetry. This provides a string theoretic
explanation for the supersymmetric uplifting term in the KKLT effective
supergravity model supplemented by a nilpotent chiral multiplet.Comment: 17 pages; v2: added clarifying comments and a referenc

Designing information systems requirements in context: Insights from the theory of deferred action
This paper considers conceptual and contextual issues relating to the problem of
developing systems models capable of representing knowable and unknowable
information requirements. It postulates that the systemic emergence property of
systems is the cause of unknowable organisational information requirements. The
Theory of Deferred Action and its systems constructs are invoked to explain
emergence and how it can be modelled in formal systems. The insights proposed are
believed to assist designers in developing functional and relevant approaches within
dynamic organisational contexts
Developing a conceptual model for exploring emergence
Emergence is a fundamental property of complex systems and can be thought of as a new property or behaviour which appears due to non-linear interactions within the system; emergence may be considered to be the 'product' or by-product of the system. For example, within social systems, social capital, the World Wide Web, law and indeed civilization in general may be considered emergent, although all within different time scales. As our world becomes increasingly more interconnected, understanding how emergence arises and how to design for and manage specific types of emergence is ever more important. To date, the concept of emergence has been mainly used as an explanatory framework (as used by Johnson 2001), to inform the logic of action research (Mitleton-Kelly 2004) or as a means of exploring the range of emergent potential of simulation of real complex systems (Axelrod 2003). If we are to improve our ability to manage and control emergence, we need first to directly study the phenomenon of emergence, its causes and consequences across real complex systems
Collective Coordinates in String Theory
The emergence of violations of conformal invariance in the form of non-local
operators in the two-dimensional action describing solitons inevitably leads to
the introduction of collective coordinates as two dimensional ``wormhole
parameters''.Comment: LATEX, 2 Figures added in separate file. 12 Page

Enriching Deontic Logic
It is well known that systems of action deontic logic emerging from a standard analysis of permission in terms of possibility of doing an action without incurring in a violation of the law are subject to paradoxes. In general, paradoxes are acknowledged as such if we have intuitions telling us that things should be different. The aim of this paper is to introduce a paradox-free deontic action system by (i) identifying the basic intuitions leading to the emergence of the paradoxes and (ii) exploiting these intuitions in order to develop a consistent deontic framework, where it can be shown why some phenomena seem to be paradoxical and why they are not so if interpreted in a correct way
Theory of fluctuation conductivity from interband pairing in pnictide superconductors
We derive the effective action for superconducting fluctuations in a
four-band model for pnictides, discussing the emergence of a single critical
mode out of a dominant interband pairing mechanism. We then apply our model to
calculate the paraconductivity in two-dimensional and layered three-dimensional
systems, and compare our results with recent resistivity measurements in

Trafficking of Migrant Workers from Romania: Issues of Labor and Sexual Exploitation
Part of a major research project on the forms of forced labor today developed by the ILO Special Action Programme to Combat Forced Labour (SAP-FL), this paper argues that trafficking for labor exploitation is an emerging issue in Europe and in particular in Romania. Features a detailed comparison of living conditions prior to the emergence of immigration, trafficking, and/or forced labor
