As the malware research field became more established over last two decades, new questions arose, such as how to make reproducible, bring scientific rigor attack papers, or what is an appropriate dataset for relevant experimental results. The challenges these pose also brings pitfalls that affect multiple stakeholders. To help answering those and highlight potential be avoided, in this paper, w...

largescalechanges in the global system with unpredictablebut significant political and economic consequences aretaking place front of our eyes. Europe is situated atthe centre a socio-economic crisis thathas exacerbated key contradictions long-termdevelopment, deepening conflict between society andnature. The concepts civilized world – theprinciples democracy, rule law cultural values– are unde...

This paper summarizes the findings and recommendations of a recent panel on Future Directions in Control, Dynamics, and Systems, sponsored by the US Air Force Office of Scientific Research. A set of grand challenges that illustrate some of the recommendations and opportunities are provided. Finally, the paper describes two new courses being developed at Caltech that are aligned with the recomme...

One of the grand challenges for society is global security in food and nutrition. The ‘‘perfect storm’’ metaphor has been used by Sir John Beddington to describe the scenario that wemight be heading for, with simultaneous shortages for food, water, and energy within the foreseeable future. This Select highlights the need for a truly multipronged approach across scientific disciplines and countr...

The results for heavy-light mesons are summarized in Table 1. The results presented here are based on the same statistical sample, consisting of 102 quenched configurations at β = 6.0 with lattice size 16 × 48, as used in our study of fB and fBs [1]. The details of the NRQCD action, the evolution equation for calculating the heavy quark propagator, the method used for setting the lattice scale,...
