We test the no-trade theorem in a laboratory financial market where subjects can trade an asset whose value is unknown. Subjects receive clues on the asset value and then set a bid and an ask at which they are willing to buy or to sell from the other participants. In treatments with no gains from trade, we should observe no trading activity, whereas, in treatments with gains, trade becomes theo...

Psycho-analysis was developing as a method of treatment and investigation utilizing introspection at the same time as many academic psychologists in the United States were becoming disillusioned with introspection as a method of observation in research. While analysts hoped to build a general psychology on findings derived from the special kind of introspection involved in "free association", b...

1 Abstract Introspection in computer systems enables a computer to examine its own computational behavior. Knowledge gained by introspection can be used by the computer to optimize itself and to explain its own behavior to other computers or to human observers. In increasingly complex computer systems, introspective computers can be applied to managing their own complexity. A computer capable o...

With the recent advent of effective and practical virtual machine introspection tools, we revisit the use of hybrid honeypots as a means to implement automated malware collection and analysis. We introduce VMIHoneymon, a high-interaction honeypot monitor which uses virtual machine memory introspection on Xen. VMI-Honeymon remains transparent to the monitored virtual machine and bypasses relianc...

1 I n t r o d u c t i o n In areas such as artificial intelligence or distributed systems, there has been considerable interest in agents with perfect introspection, that is, agents, who know everything they know and if they don't know something, then they know that they don't know it. For example, the so-called autoepistemic logics developed in artificial intelligence use introspection to mode...

Many smartphones now deploy conventional operating systems, so the rootkit attacks so prevalent on desktop and server systems are now a threat to smartphones. While researchers have advocated using virtualization to detect and prevent attacks on operating systems (e.g., VM introspection and trusted virtual domains), virtualization is not practical on smartphone systems due to the lack of virtua...

The evolution of literary styles in the western tradition has been the subject of extended research that arguably has spanned centuries. In particular, previous work has conjectured the existence of a gradual yet persistent increase of the degree of self-awareness or introspection, i.e. that capacity to expound on one’s own thought processes and behaviors, reflected in the chronology of the cla...
