Abstract:
Abstract The emergence of weak actors on global scale is one among the many undesired consequences of the post Cold War period. In a globalized world, weak actors increasingly possess the capability and will to challenge the existing status quo set earlier by strong actors. The complexity of the international theatre provides weak actors with an abundance of opportunities to become successful over a long period. From a military point of view strong actor / weak actor interaction becomes manifest when the latter prosecutes a special type of war. This war is asymmetric, irregular and of low intensity. It poses a significant challenge to the strong actor and can bog him down into confusing and ambiguous military actions. In these actions the strong actor often finds himself in messy situations he can mostly master by improvisation. To better understand the strong actor / weak actor interaction and the resulting special type of war the authors suggest to reject the classical theorizing of war and advocate a different sort of thinking instead.

Abstract:
Purpose Valence is one of the key dimensions underlying actor engagement, yet there is limited research to provide a comprehensive understanding of the concept. The purpose of this paper is to conceptualise engagement valence in actor networks and develop an agenda for future research. Design/methodology/approach The exploration of the psychological foundations of the concept of valence and a systematic literature review from a multiple database search contribute to four sets of propositions defining the domain of the concept of actor engagement valence. Findings The propositions posit that valence resides in the engaging actor’s past, current and future psychological dispositions, which can shift between positive, negative and ambivalence. Actor engagement valence is triggered by the engagement objects and value propositions of other actors in the network. The antecedents of actor engagement valence comprise individual factors such as cognitive evaluations and hedonic feelings, as well as network-related factors such as social norms and shared beliefs, and the network structure. The net balance of actor engagement valence determines the actor’s engagement behaviours, and this relationship is moderated by individual and network factors. Originality/value This is the first study to conceptualise actor engagement valence, which contributes to the refinement of the actor engagement concept. This research defines the conceptual domain, deepens the understanding and provides an agenda for future research into the valence of engagement among actors in networks. The study recognises the institutional influences on actor engagement valence, and contributes to an understanding of the nature of actors’ psychological dispositions and how their valence determines the actors’ behavioural engagement manifestations.

Abstract:
In contrast to much new media performance, Kris Verdonck’s ACTOR #1 does not attempt to accelerate time or to enhance the spectatorial experience by juxtaposing theatrical elements. Instead the work presents a three-phase meditation that strips back the tools and techniques of theatre to allow, or perhaps even compel, spectators to focus on a single element, to inhabit one state, or to consider a single idea at a time.

Abstract:
I study the history of actors, emphasizing the historical conditions of their working and creative lives amid the ever shifting cultural and performance conventions guiding which bodies are privileged in the telling of which stories. My research expeditions have routinely prompted me to follow a given actor from the stage, often to screens large and small and, just as frequently, to the ostensibly nontheatrical realms of politics, community organizing, or education. Sometimes these actors return to the theatrical stage, but not always. But I go where actors go, no matter the industry, enterprise, or discipline. If they're an actor, and they're up to something, I'm interested. That's what I call my actor alibi.

Abstract:
The contemporary acting in theatre has resembling in many features of the Tamil traditional theatre form Therukuthu. So, this discussion intended to establish the possibilities of the Therukuthu as a method of actor training for contemporary theatre actors. The primary concern of the discussion includes the actor and acting of contemporary theatre; the way how actor presents the character and communicates with the audience as co-actors, which are the two significant features of contemporary theatre. So, the discussion considers at those factors of Therukuthu form and acting or performance those applicable to the contemporary theatre actor, to consider Therukuthu as a potential Contemporary actor training method.

Abstract:

Wireless sensor networks (WSNs) are becoming widely used worldwide. Wireless Sensor and Actor Networks (WSANs) represent a special category of WSNs wherein actors and sensors collaborate to perform specific tasks. WSANs have become one of the most preeminent emerging type of WSNs. Sensors with nodes having limited power resources are responsible for sensing and transmitting events to actor nodes. Actors are high-performance nodes equipped with rich resources that have the ability to collect, process, transmit data and perform various actions. WSANs have a unique architecture that distinguishes them from WSNs. Due to the characteristics of WSANs, numerous challenges arise. Determining the importance of factors usually depends on the application requirements.

The actor nodes are the spine of WSANs that collaborate to perform the specific tasks in an unsubstantiated and uneven environment. Thus, there is a possibility of high failure rate in such unfriendly scenarios due to several factors such as power fatigue of devices, electronic circuit failure, software errors in nodes or physical impairment of the actor nodes and inter-actor connectivity problem. It is essential to keep inter-actor connectivity in order to insure network connectivity. Thus, it is extremely important to discover the failure of a cut-vertex actor and network-disjoint in order to improve the Quality-of-Service (QoS). For network recovery process from actor node failure, optimal re-localization and coordination techniques should take place.

In this work, we propose an efficient actor recovery (EAR) paradigm to guarantee the contention-free traffic-forwarding capacity. The EAR paradigm consists of Node Monitoring and Critical Node Detection (NMCND) algorithm that monitors the activities of the nodes to determine the critical node. In addition, it replaces the critical node with backup node prior to complete node-failure which helps balances the network performance. The packet is handled using Network Integration and Message Forwarding (NIMF) algorithm that determines the source of forwarding the packets (Either from actor or sensor). This decision-making capability of the algorithm controls the packet forwarding rate to maintain the network for longer time. Furthermore, for handling the proper routing strategy, Priority-Based Routing for Node Failure Avoidance (PRNFA) algorithm is deployed to decide the priority of the packets to be forwarded based on the significance of information available in the packet. To validate the effectiveness of the proposed EAR paradigm, we compare the performance of our proposed work with state-of the art localization algorithms. Our experimental results show superior performance in regards to network life, residual energy, reliability, sensor/ actor recovery time and data recovery.

Abstract:
This thesis explores some of the issues involved in movement praxis in actor training, contextualising itself within the QUT Academy of the Arts in Brisbane and arts research in Australian Universities. To elucidate these issues the researcher applies the epistemology of Humberto Maturana's constitutive ontology (the philosophical underpinnings of the biology of cognition) in multiple sites of performance theory and practice, with particular reference to the movement learning of actors. The research process has focused on publishing articles and a monograph for different groups of observers of the phenomenon under study: for Feldenkrais Practitioners, actor and drama educators, and researchers in performance studies. These articles, which are presented in a modified form in the thesis, develop the conceptual framework of the thesis; identify issues in movement training for performance, explore these issues and track movement training to performance. Insights garnered are then applied in the researcher's practice as director of The Rivers of China by Alma De Groen. Because the researcher occupies different sites, such as that of actor in training, of director, of actor educator and Feldenkrais Practitioner, the research is polysituational and results in a heteroglossic text. This text coheres around the central proposition that live performance can be constituted in terms of the particular dynamic of human interrelationship involved in the contract to play, and that there will be more coherence in the movement preparation of actors for live performance if that project is viewed in terms of the dynamics of this interrelationship rather than from mechanical or instrumental theories of the moving body.

Many complex decision making problems like scheduling in manufacturing systems, portfolio management in finance, admission control in communication networks etc., with clear and precise objectives, can be formulated as stochastic dynamic programming problems in which the objective of decision making is to maximize a single "overall" reward. In these formulations, finding an optimal decision policy involves computing a certain "value function" which assigns to each state the optimal reward one would obtain if the system was started from that state. This function then naturally prescribes the optimal policy, which is to take decisions that drive the system to states with maximum value. For many practical problems, the computation of the exact value function is intractable, analytically and numerically, due to the enormous size of the state space. Therefore one has to resort to one of the following approximation methods to find a good sub-optimal policy: (1) Approximate the value function. (2) Restrict the search for a good policy to a smaller family of policies. In this thesis, we propose and study actor-critic algorithms which combine the above two approaches with simulation to find the best policy among a parameterized class of policies. Actor-critic algorithms have two learning units: an actor and a critic. An actor is a decision maker with a tunable parameter. A critic is a function approximator. The critic tries to approximate the value function of the policy used by the actor, and the actor in turn tries to improve its policy based on the current approximation provided by the critic. Furthermore, the critic evolves on a faster time-scale than the actor.
(cont.) We propose several variants of actor-critic algorithms. In all the variants, the critic uses Temporal Difference (TD) learning with linear function approximation. Some of the variants are inspired by a new geometric interpretation of the formula for the gradient of the overall reward with respect to the actor parameters. This interpretation suggests a natural set of basis functions for the critic, determined by the family of policies parameterized by the actor's parameters. We concentrate on the average expected reward criterion but we also show how the algorithms can be modified for other objective criteria. We prove convergence of the algorithms for problems with general (finite, countable, or continuous) state and decision spaces. To compute the rate of convergence (ROC) of our algorithms, we develop a general theory of the ROC of two-time-scale algorithms and we apply it to study our algorithms. In the process, we study the ROC of TD learning and compare it with related methods such as Least Squares TD (LSTD). We study the effect of the basis functions used for linear function approximation on the ROC of TD. We also show that the ROC of actor-critic algorithms does not depend on the actual basis functions used in the critic but depends only on the subspace spanned by them and study this dependence. Finally, we compare the performance of our algorithms with other algorithms that optimize over a parameterized family of policies. We show that when only the "natural" basis functions are used for the critic, the rate of convergence of the actor- critic algorithms is the same as that of certain stochastic gradient descent algorithms ...

Abstract:
Nell'ambito dello sviluppo software, la concorrenza è sempre stata vista come la strada del futuro. Tuttavia, questa è stata spesso ignorata a causa del continuo sviluppo dell'hardware che ha permesso agli sviluppatori di continuare a scrivere software sequenziale senza doversi preoccupare delle performance. In un'era in cui le nuove architetture hardware presentano processori multi-core, tutto questo non è più possibile. L'obiettivo di questa tesi è stato quello di considerare il Modello ad Attori come valida alternativa allo sviluppo di applicazioni in ambito mobile e quindi di progettare, sviluppare e distribuire un nuovo framework sulla base di tale modello. Il lavoro parte quindi da una panoramica di Swift, il nuovo linguaggio di programmazione presentato da Apple al WWDC 2014, in cui vengono analizzati nel dettaglio i meccanismi che abilitano alla concorrenza. Successivamente viene descritto il modello ad attori in termini di: attori, proprietà, comunicazione e sincronizzazione. Segue poi un'analisi delle principali implementazioni di questo modello, tra cui: Scala, Erlang ed Akka; quest'ultimo rappresenta la base su cui è stato ispirato il lavoro di progettazione e sviluppo del framework Actor Kit. Il quarto capitolo descrive tutti i concetti, le idee e i principi su cui il framework Actor Kit è stato progettato e sviluppato. Infine, l'ultimo capitolo presenta l'utilizzo del framework in due casi comuni della programmazione mobile: 1) Acquisizione dati da Web API e visualizzazione sull'interfaccia utente. 2) Acquisizione dati dai sensori del dispositivo. In conclusione Actor Kit abilita la progettazione e lo sviluppo di applicazioni secondo un approccio del tutto nuovo nell'ambito mobile. Un possibile sviluppo futuro potrebbe essere l'estensione del framework con attori che mappino i framework standard di Apple; proprio per questo sarà reso pubblico con la speranza che altri sviluppatori possano evolverlo e renderlo ancora più completo e performante.

Illustrated by case studies from Ukraine, Northern Ireland and Sub Saharan Africa, the Brief highlights the significance of decentralising administration and decision-making processes for reintegration programs. By empowering local and community levels, this approach may not only boosts efficiency and participation but also fosters broader social and economic development objectives. It also discusses existing empirical evidence of decentralisation success and possible challenges of decentralisation like increased corruption, coordination challenges or ethnic seperatism. Finally, the Brief presents a case study on the coupling of FAA reintegration and territorial development policies in Colombia.

Abstract:
This research brief highlights the critical importance of deconstructing the threat stigma associated with formerly armed actors (FAAs) to ensure a more inclusive and successful (re)integration process. By challenging the prevailing perception that FAAs are inherently violent beings, disarmament, demobilisation, and reintegration (DDR) programmes can promote societal acceptance and prevent the marginalisation of FAAs. Public awareness campaigns that contribute to a more nuanced understanding of their backgrounds play a key role in reshaping community perceptions and empowering FAAs as active agents in the (re)integration process. Recognising them as individuals with complex motives and experiences, avoiding stigmatising language and providing targeted support and opportunities for their social reintegration, enhance their chances of becoming valued and productive members of their communities.

Abstract:
This Research Brief explores how lacking or inadequate formerly armed actor (FAA) reintegration programming is not only a humanitarian concern but carries global security ramifications, contributing to prolonged violence and instability, extremist resurgence, and transnational threats. The underdeveloped global focus on prevention and risk mitigation among warrants a shift towards recognising attention to FAAs as a global policy imperative. The interconnected nature of security threats necessitates international cooperation and prioritisation for a well-executed and holistic reintegration process. Moreover, the Research Brief presents a case study of how the massive layoffs during the “de-Ba’athification” process after the invasion of Iraq in 2003 contributed to the rise of the Islamic State (IS) as a regional power.

Abstract:
This Research Brief explores the implications of armed group hierarchies on the reintegration pathways of formerly armed actors (FAAs). It highlights how ranks within armed groups significantly shape key determinants of succesful reintegration, such as skill sets, financial security, traumatic exposure, and access to networks post-demobilisation and how reintegration programmes often entrench disparities between higher and lower ranking FAAs. By comparing dynamics within state-sponsored militaries and across centralised and decentralised non-state armed groups (NSAGs), the Research Brief advocates for nuanced strategies that recognise the complex interplay of network dynamics and hierarchies on FAA positionalities after demobilisation to foster more equitable reintegration outcomes for FAAs. Additionally, this brief includes a quadrant graphic offering an assessment of different FAA reintegration scenarios based on hierarchies, centralisation, and reintegration programming strength.
