This paper formulates and investigates the relative attitude formation problem of a group of rigid-body agents with directed and switching sensing topologies. Each agent can only measure the attitudes of its neighbors from the body-fixed frame of the agent. Based on the axis-angle representation of the error attitude, we present a distributed protocol and then show how to achieve the desired relative attitude formation, provided that the inter-agent topology graph is jointly connected and each relative attitude between agents initially is contained within a geodesic ball of radius less than 2π/3 centered at its desired relative attitude. A numerical example is provided to show the effectiveness of the proposed angular velocity control scheme.

Web user's online interactive behavior with others often makes some user generated contents popular. The modeling and prediction of the popularity of online content are an important research issue for many key application domains. In this paper, we focus on one form of user generated content, forum threads, and their popularity prediction for public events security. To predict the popularity of forum threads, we first define the popularity prediction problem, and identify the dynamic factors that affect the popularity of forum threads. Based on the information of dynamic evolution at the early stage, we propose a popularity prediction algorithm which makes use of the locality property and combines multiple dynamic factors. The proposed algorithm is further evaluated using the Tianya forum dataset on the discussions of various public events. The experimental results show that, compared to the baseline methods, our method achieves relatively better performance in predicting the popularity of forum threads on public events security.

If a piece of disinformation released from a terrorist organization propagates on Twitter and this adversarial campaign is detected after a while, how emergence responders can wisely choose a set of source users to start the counter campaign to minimize the disruptive influence of disinformation in a short time? This practical problem is challenging and critical for authorities to make online social networks a more trustworthy source of information. In this work, we propose to study the time critical disinformation influence minimization problem in online social networks based on a continuous-time multiple campaign diffusion model. We show that the complexity of this optimization problem is NP-hard and provide a provable guaranteed approximation algorithm for this problem by proving several critical properties of the objective function. Experimental results on a sample of real online social network show that the proposed approximation algorithm outperforms various heuristics and the transmission temporal dynamics knowledge is vital for selecting the counter campaign source users, especially when the time window is small.

Web social media has become one of the major channels for people to express their opinions, share their feelings and communicate with others. Public opinions often ebb and flow with time due to the occurrence of social events and mutual influence of people on certain topics. The dynamic change of public opinions reflects the evolvement and trend of public attitudes and can facilitate many security-related applications. In this paper, we explore the modeling and detection of opinion dynamics on a specific topic based on textual social media data. We first define three measures to provide a thorough description of opinion dynamics, and identify the key factors that influence opinion changes, namely sentiment, social influence and dynamic factors. We then develop the computational method to capture opinion dynamics in security-related data. A preliminary empirical study is conducted based on the data from Weibo, one of the most popular microblog sites in China. The experimental results show the effectiveness of our method in modeling and predicting opinion dynamics.

A biomimetic controller with online adaptation of impedance and force is applied to a full kinematic and dynamic model of the Baxter bimanual robot. A set of fuzzy logic engines are proposed to infer the values of tuning gains which affect the control performance and control effort of the controller, which would conventionally be set to a static value based on expert knowledge of the controller; the aim of this being to avoid the use of arbitary values to set these values. A simulated experiment is carried out, where the Baxter robot is required to move an object through a trajectory while subjected to two different disturbance forces in four phases. The controller with fuzzy inferred control gains is compared against the same controller with fixed gains to gauge the effectiveness of the new method. Results show that fuzzy inference of control gains impart an improvement in both tracking error and control effort.
