Gamifying knowledge sharing in humanitarian organisations: a design science journey

Denis Gillet, Isabelle Barbara Marie-Hélène Cardia, Samuel Bendahan, Adrian Christian Holzer

Humanitarian organisations provide invaluable work to improve the lives of individuals impacted by natural and anthropogenic hazards. While humanitarian organisations are highly knowledge intensive, they often fail to manage knowledge effectively. Providin ...

Anytime Heuristic for Weighted Matching Through Altruism-Inspired Behavior

Boi Faltings, Aris Filos Ratsikas, Panayiotis Danassis

We present a novel anytime heuristic (ALMA), inspired by the human principle of altruism, for solving the assignment problem. ALMA is decentralized, completely uncoupled, and requires no communication between the participants. We prove an upper bound on th ...

The diversity of moral preferences: Evolutionary foundations and some implications in environmental economics

Boris Thurm

Empirical evidence suggests that there exists substantial heterogeneity in individuals' social preferences. However, there is little theoretical basis supporting this observation and economic models often assume that all individuals are identical. Hence, t ...

Data Management in Participatory Sensing

Mehdi Riahi

In recent years there has been a proliferation of privately owned sensing devices such as GPS devices, cameras, home weather stations and, more importantly, smart-phones. Most of these devices are either intrinsically mobile, e.g., smart-phones and GPS dev ...

When Others Impinge upon Your Privacy

Mathias Jacques Jean-Marc Humbert

Privacy is defined as the right to control, edit, manage, and delete information about oneself and decide when, how, and to what extent this information is communicated to others. Therefore, every person should ideally be empowered to manage and protect hi ...

The Cognitive And Neural Time Course Of Empathy And Sympathy: An Electrical Neuroimaging Study On Self-Other Interaction

Olaf Blanke, Manuel Mercier

Although extensively investigated in sociocognitive neuroscience, empathy is difficult to study. The first difficulty originates in its multifaceted nature. According to the multidimensional model, empathy combines emotional, automatic (simulation), cognit ...

Non-Cooperative Location Privacy

Jean-Pierre Hubaux, Julien Freudiger, David C. Parkes

In mobile networks, authentication is a required primitive for most security protocols. Unfortunately, an adversary can monitor pseudonyms used for authentication to track the location of mobile nodes. A frequently proposed solution to protect location pri ...

A Quantitative Test of Hamilton's Rule for the Evolution of Altruism

Dario Floreano, Laurent Keller, Markus Waibel

The evolution of altruism is a fundamental and enduring puzzle in biology. In a seminal paper Hamilton showed that altruism can be selected for when rb − c>0, where c is the fitness cost to the altruist, b is the fitness benefit to the beneficiary, and r i ...
