VICI Virtual Machine Introspection for Cognitive Immunity
When systems are under constant attack, there is no time to restore those infected with malware to health manuallyârepair of infected systems must be fully au-tomated and must occur within milliseconds. After de-tecting kernel-modifying rootkit infections using Virtual Machine Introspection, the VICI Agent applies a collec-tion of novel repair techniques to automatically restore infected kernels to a healthy state. The VICI Agent oper-ates without manual intervention and uses a form of au-tomated reasoning borrowed from robotics to choose its best repair technique based on its assessment of the cur-rent situation, its memory of past engagements, and the potential cost of each technique. Its repairs have proven effective in tests against a collection of common kernel-modifying rootkit techniques. Virtualized systems moni-tored by the VICI Agent experience a decrease in appli-cation performance of roughly 5%. 1
"Normal" Feelings in "Abnormal" Worlds: On the Political Uses of Emotion in Science Fiction Manga
Scholars such as Darko Suvin have
successfully argued for science fiction (SF) as fiction that portrays
political alternatives through a focus on cognitive processes. This
conception of SF minimizes the importance of character emotions, which
has opened it to criticism from those who argue in favor of SF as a
reflection of peopleâs wider psychological concerns. This dissertation
argues that emotions, even when prominent within the narrative, can
contribute directly to the cognitive exploration of political
alternatives. If emotions are viewed not as a lack of overt logical
reasoning but as a form of potential logic that can also provide
alternative perspectives on the SF world, then it becomes possible to
look at even emotion-heavy SF as sources of political ideas.
This dissertation looks at how the depiction of emotions in SF manga
(Japanese comics) affects the conveyance of political ideas. It shows
that the portrayal of emotions in science fiction, even those which can
be considered âcommonplaceâ or âeverydayâ, can become political when
sufficiently contextualized within alternative SF environments. Whether
used to express political ideas or as a way to illuminate SF
environments, emotion can expand the scope of possibilities for the
exploration of political alternatives in SF.Netherlands Organization for Scientific Research NWOAsian Studie
