Belief revision is concerned with incorporating new information into a pre-existing set of beliefs. When the comes from another agent, we must first determine if that agent should be trusted. In this paper, define trust as pre-processing step before revision. We emphasize in an often restricted to particular domain expertise. demonstrate form can captured by associating state partition each then relativizing all reports revising. position resulting family trust-sensitive operators within...
In action domains where agents may have erroneous beliefs, reasoning about the effects of actions involves belief change. this paper, we use a transition system approach to reason evolution an agent's beliefs as are executed. Some cause agent perform revision while others update, but interaction between and update can be non-elementary. We present set rationality properties describing introduce new class change operators for alternating sequences revisions updates. Our characterized in terms...
Autonomous Internet-of-Things (IoT) are comprised of moving objects such as drones and rovers that use self-control techniques to accomplish a mission while following path. However, losing control in systems usually by spoofing their sensors or hijacking with misleading commands can lead catastrophic safety consequences. In this paper, we close the gap authenticating behavior autonomous IoT during operation. particular, check object, e.g., drone, evaluating its time-series telemetry traces...
We address security vulnerabilities for a smart thermostat. As this kind of appliance is adopted in homes around the world, every user will be opening up new avenue cyber attack. Since these devices have known and they are being managed by non-technical users, we anticipate that thermostats likely to targetted unsophisticated attackers relying on publicly available exploits take advantage weakly protected devices. such, paper, role `script kiddy' assess thermostat using Internet resources...

The continued scaling of devices in accordance with Moore's law requires activation some implants such as the source-drain extensions, SDEs, little diffusion possible. New options thermal processing are described and compared. Thermal flux annealing is regime where power density high enough to cause local heating but not so eliminate heat transfer entirely. If energy delivered fast enough, i.e.: surface wafer can reach useful temperatures before bulk temperature rises appreciably. Limited...
Laser annealing is one of the process solutions to enable ultra shallow junction (USJ) formation for 45 nm technology node. However, variations in front-side optical properties device wafers cause large temperature on wafer surface which, turn, activation dopants that form junction. As a result, pyrometry and closed loop control are critical establish uniformity repeatability laser annealing. Pyrometry results presented along with correlation between (dopant activation) pyrometer signal....
Public announcements cause each agent in a group to modify their beliefs incorporate some new piece of information, while simultaneously being aware that all other agents are doing the same. Given set and epistemic goals, it is natural ask if there single announcement will make believe corresponding goal. This problem known be undecidable general modal setting, where presence nested can lead complex dynamics. In this paper, we consider not necessarily truthful public setting AGM belief...
Forensic examinations of a mobile phone that consider only the internal memory can miss potentially vital data is accessible from device, but not stored locally. In this paper, we look at forensic tool able to download on cloud, using credentials gleaned device extractions. Through experimention with variety devices and configurations, examine effectiveness software for its stated purpose. The results suggest are obtain information cloud in manner, under some relatively strong assumptions....
We address security and trust in the context of a commercial IP camera. take hands-on approach, as we not only define abstract vulnerabilities, but actually implement attacks on real then discuss nature root cause; propose formal model that can be used to vulnerabilities by explicitly constraining compositionality for relationships.
Applied materials rapid thermal processing (RTP) systems are unique in providing high resolution process data particularly wafer rotation angle and speed as a function of time. This work explores how this information can be used to predict on-wafer results using an advanced analysis package known WISR (wafer interdiction scrap reduction). is control platform for the collection, storage, visualization, parameters from production tools. One main features ability create virtual sensors. Virtual...
The different optical properties of implanted or patterned areas production semiconductor substrates result in local temperature differences. This variation within a wafer may cause unacceptable uniformity electrical data. RTP systems that use rotation and multipoint control are able to keep overall process even for variation. paper describes modification the multi-input, multi-output measurement system used an Applied Materials Centura adapt pattern. presented experimental data demonstrates...
