In this study we have modeled a cyber security situation and demonstrated the system level effects using system dynamics PoC (Proof-of-Concept) model. We modeled a hypothetical Company's Information Technology infrastructure and simulated a Distributed Denial-of-Service attack on one part of the system in an effort to see how other parts of the system were affected. To validate our simulation model, we developed a cybersecurity testbed and conducted a cyber-attack on one application and observed its impact on the whole system. The results indicate that by using known vulnerabilities and the current knowledge about infrastructure and security controls, the system dynamic cyber security simulation modeling allows an organization to imitate the attacker activities and helps to assess and mitigate the system's risk exposure.

Ethical decision-making is a unique aspect of human behavior. When confronted with situations that require careful deliberation over multitude of options that have ethical implications, human behavior tends to resolve dilemmas by resorting to a range of heuristics and principles that view the situation from different perspectives. While constraint and utility-driven decision-making strategies are relevant, the incompatibility among these perspectives can invalidate the underlying premises of models of probabilistic utility-based decisions that rely on classic Kolmogorov axioms. In this paper, it is posited that quantum cognition models can provide an alternative and credible representation of human behavior modeling in simulations that involve ethical decision-making.

In a green environment, air quality is among the prominent aspects to be considered to prevent pollution and in turn maintain safe air. Sick Building Syndrome (SBS) and Building Related Illness (BRI) are the problems that must be encountered by building occupants. Existing devices are quite expensive, and more attention is needed on monitoring air quality. Therefore, this paper discusses a software-hardware architecture proposal to overcome the existing IAQ data retrieval performance problem. The objective of this work is to analyse the most recent IAQ sensing device developed by the researcher, to evaluate the performance attribute, and to implement the software-hardware architecture based on the Performance-Driven software Architecture Refactoring (PDSAR) method. In order to assess the overall performance of the architecture proposed, the prototype of the Indoor Air Quality (IAQ) sensing device was developed. The testing was performed during a period of six months. The results demonstrate that the average performance for 540 readings is 76.67%. This shows that the architecture can be accepted as a generic IAQ sensing device development structure. The device act as an alternative, cheaper and safer device which can be employed by all building owners in the future.

The main point of this paper is to provide an affirmative answer through exploiting reinforcement learning (RL) in artificial intelligence (AI) for eliminating herding without any external control in complex resource allocation systems. In particular, we demonstrate that when agents are empowered with RL (e.g., the popular Q-learning algorithm in AI) in that they get familiar with the unknown game environment gradually and attempt to deliver the optimal actions to maximize the payoff, herding can effectively be eliminated. Furthermore, computations reveal the striking phenomenon that, regardless of the initial state, the system evolves persistently and relentlessly toward the optimal state in which all resources are used efficiently. However, the evolution process is not without interruptions: there are large fluctuations that occur but only intermittently in time. The statistical distribution of the time between two successive fluctuating events is found to depend on the parity of the evolution, i.e., whether the number of time steps in between is odd or even. We develop a physical analysis and derive mean-field equations to gain an understanding of these phenomena. Since AI is becoming increasingly widespread, we expect our RL empowered minority game system to have broad applications.

Mobile offloading is a platform that facilitates the distribution of computationally intensive tasks from mobile devices to the cloud or other devices in order to conserve energy and improve performance. The concept is practically based on the idea of exchanging relatively low communication energy for high computation power utilization. Efforts have been channeled towards energy conservation by clusters using Dynamic Power Management (DPM). This paper is a review for green energy sources for reducing energy and using energy consumption to manage sources by stating the latest studies of energy consumption and energy consumptions.

Each nationality has their special culinary practice, which was built by many generations that formed the cultural and historical print of the regional cuisine. Furthermore, nearby regional cuisines tend to learn from each other either due to communication or migration. The geographical closure for Syria, Lebanon, Palestine and Jordan made their culinary practice and dishes very similar. In this paper, we study the recipes and culinary practice of these four countries and then test the hypotheses of the food pairings that represent the compatibility of every pair of ingredients by finding their shared flavor compounds. Our analysis is considered at cuisines level, recipes, ingredients, and ingredients pair's level. Our study brings up the special features in each cuisine, and explores the similarities and differences between these cuisines by studying their deep culinary details. Comparing the food pairing hypothesis with real life paired ingredients in these cuisines shows the cuisines real fingerprints and whether, or not, they are different from theories. The experimental results showed that the food pairing hypothesis has been confirmed for the cuisines of Jordan, Lebanon, Syria, and Palestine, which suggests that people in this area combine ingredients that have matching flavor compounds.
