In order to enhance a constructive approach to technological and organisational development it seems important to involve employees proactively. This implies the need for a changing role of employee representatives, trade unions and management. It can, however, be observed that many systems of representative participation are reactively rather than proactively oriented. A proactive approach req...

In this paper we explore the potential of leveraging properties inherent to domain registrations and their appearance in DNS zone files to predict the malicious use of domains proactively, using only minimal observation of known-bad domains to drive our inference. Our analysis demonstrates that our inference procedure derives on average 3.5 to 15 new domains from a given known-bad domain. 93% o...

This abstract aims to provide a comprehensive analysis of the intricacies DDoS attacks, which are increasingly prevalent and malicious cyber-attacks that disrupt normal flow traffic targeted server by exponentially increasing network traffic. To secure distributed systems against intrusion detection mechanisms machine learning techniques commonly employed. The CICDDoS2019 dataset is often utili...

We give a survey of the research project REAL, where we investigate how a system can proactively assist its user in solving different tasks in an instrumented environment by sensing implicit interaction and utilising distributed presentation media. First we introduce the architecture of our instrumented environment, which uses a blackboard to coordinate the components of the environment, such a...

The execution of supply process orders in a supply chain is conditioned by different types of disruptive events that must be detected and solved in real time. This requires the ability to proactively monitor, analyze and notify disruptive events. In this work we present a model that captures this functionality and was used as the foundation to design a software agent. A reactive-deliberative hy...

Proactivity is the ability to take initiative by exhibiting goal-directed behavior. Agents with proactivity can respond to dynamic environment in a timely way. Hence the ability to anticipate the information needs of teammates and assist them proactively is highly desirable. This research is directed toward helping agents produce effective communication through observations. We show how agents ...

To close the wide gap between the exploding information world and individual human knowledge, we have investigated a multi-modal interaction strategy called Mind Probing in which a system proactively acts on the user and then estimates his/her internal state by analyzing his/her reaction. We have also developed a system, Info-concierge, that can probe the latent interest of the user, make him/h...

BACKGROUND Reactive and proactive subtypes of aggressive 10-11-12-year-old children were compared with non-aggressive children to examine whether the two forms of aggression were differentially related to antecedent and subsequent measures. METHOD A large community sample of boys and girls was used. Reactive and proactive aggression was measured through teacher ratings when the children were ...

Maintenance plays now a critical role in manufacturing for achieving important cost savings and competitive advantage while preserving product conditions. It suggests moving from conventional maintenance practices to predictive strategy. Indeed the maintenance action has to be done at the right time according the component Remaining Useful Life (RUL) assessed by a prognosis process. The accurac...
