Cyber-crime Science = Crime Science + Information Security
Cyber-crime Science is an emerging area of study aiming to prevent cyber-crime by combining security protection techniques from Information Security with empirical research methods used in Crime Science. Information security research has developed techniques for protecting the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of information assets but is less strong on the empirical study of the effectiveness of these techniques. Crime Science studies the effect of crime prevention techniques empirically in the real world, and proposes improvements to these techniques based on this. Combining both approaches, Cyber-crime Science transfers and further develops Information Security techniques to prevent cyber-crime, and empirically studies the effectiveness of these techniques in the real world. In this paper we review the main contributions of Crime Science as of today, illustrate its application to a typical Information Security problem, namely phishing, explore the interdisciplinary structure of Cyber-crime Science, and present an agenda for research in Cyber-crime Science in the form of a set of suggested research questions
Numerical Algebraic Geometry: A New Perspective on String and Gauge Theories
The interplay rich between algebraic geometry and string and gauge theories
has recently been immensely aided by advances in computational algebra.
However, these symbolic (Gr\"{o}bner) methods are severely limited by
algorithmic issues such as exponential space complexity and being highly
sequential. In this paper, we introduce a novel paradigm of numerical algebraic
geometry which in a plethora of situations overcomes these short-comings. Its
so-called 'embarrassing parallelizability' allows us to solve many problems and
extract physical information which elude the symbolic methods. We describe the
method and then use it to solve various problems arising from physics which
could not be otherwise solved.Comment: 36 page
A guided tour of asynchronous cellular automata
Research on asynchronous cellular automata has received a great amount of
attention these last years and has turned to a thriving field. We survey the
recent research that has been carried out on this topic and present a wide
state of the art where computing and modelling issues are both represented.Comment: To appear in the Journal of Cellular Automat
