The notable increase in petroleum demand, together with a decline discovery rates, has highlighted the desire for efficient production of existing oil wells worldwide. Mainly, productivity large fields makes us consider principles managing reservoirs to make most extraction. At same time, many different uncertainties course developing field, including geological, operational, and economic uncer...

We discuss nine ethical dilemmas which have arisen during the investigation of ‘notice and take-down’ regimes for Internet content. Issues arise when balancing the desire for accurate measurement to advance the security community’s understanding with the need to immediately reduce harm that is uncovered in the course of measurement. Research methods demand explanation to be accepted in peer-rev...

Some nouns can be counted—we term these countable; other nouns cannot—we term these uncountable. By and large this distinction makes sense in terms of how we humans view the real world. Thus, for example, horses are countable, while flour is obviously not. Such cases are generally not a problem. However, there are entities that are, from a human perspective, on the borderline, which do cause pr...

We analyze how network effects affect competition in the nascent cryptocurrency market. We do so by examining early dynamics of exchange rates among different cryptocurrencies. While Bitcoin essentially dominates this market, our data suggest no evidence of a winner-take-all effect early in the market. Indeed, for a relatively long period, a few other cryptocurrencies competing with Bitcoin (th...

Artificial spike-based computation, inspired by models of computations in the central nervous system, may present significant performance advantages over traditional methods for specific types of large scale problems. In this paper, we study new models for two common instances of such computation, winner-take-all and coincidence detection. In both cases, very fast convergence is achieved indepe...
