The Nature of Introspection
<p>My dissertation proposes a new model of introspection by examining those aspects of the nature of introspection that have been neglected in the contemporary literature, such as the ones determining variables or mental phenomena in accordance with specific cases of introspection. I assert that …

VMIaaS: Virtual Machine Introspection as a Service
… forensics of a VM is using virtual machine introspection (VMI). However, VMI has yet to be made available by any public cloud provider. This thesis addresses this issue by introducing methods for deploying VMI on public cloud providers. Four main challenges have to be solved. Firstly, VMI …

Counterfactual policy introspection using structural causal models
… introduce a procedure for performing qualitative introspection and `debugging' of models and policies. In particular, we make use of counterfactual trajectories, which describe the implicit belief (of a model) of 'what would have happened' if a policy had been applied. These serve to decompose …

Conservative Mind: A Focus on Introspection and Worldview
… examine conservative attitudes as a function of introspection. Previous literature has hypothesized that conservative ideologies are the result of a dangerous and authoritarian worldview, where individuals are essentially hedonistic and need rules and regulations in order to behave morally. …

Choice Blindness: The Incongruence of Intention, Action and Introspection
… Paper three applies this form of analysis of introspection and confabulation to a second corpus of reports collected within the choice blindness paradigm. In this paper we use word-frequency and latent semantic analysis (LSA) to contrast the introspective reasons given in non-manipulated and …

Anomaly based Intrusion Detection System through Remote Virtual Machine Introspection
… lightweight and secure Virtual Machine Introspection (VMI) module – <em>KVMonitor</em> has been customized to return data in a JSON-like structure, which in return can be processed by the IDS. Proposed IDS implements Negative Selection Algorithm that can learn to detect multiple …

Record and replay based virtual-machine introspection for system security
Hardware security features need to strike a careful balance between design intrusiveness and completeness of methods. Securing against attacks like Return Oriented Programming (ROP) requires frequent and expensive checks. Complete security defenses have been proposed yet modern systems are still …

Hypervisor introspection: a technique for evading passive virtual machine monitoring
… monitoring techniques, such as virtual machine introspection (VMI). These monitoring techniques, however, rely on the assumed isolation of virtualized environments from the hypervisor. We show that there are still some events that can be observed that break this isolation. External observers can …

Berkeley on the Source of Self-Knowledge: Introspection and Causal Maxim
… the self cannot be encountered directly through introspection, but is in fact knowable only by means of an inference which integrates a crucial causal maxim. Further, I argue that Berkeley thought the causal maxim which grounds his argument for the existence of the self is itself grounded in …

Mental Imagery in the Use of Knowledge (Visual, Mediation, Introspection, Functionalism)
Inconsistency in the occurrence of mental imagery has been a traditional source of debate in psychology. This dissertation examines causal relationships between mental imagery and knowledge in order to predict use of imagery. It is suggested that mental images are a type of conscious mediation. …

Problems for Introspection as a Basis for Reasoning about the Self
Through introspection we may gain insight into phenomenology and thereby learn about our own mental lives. One aspect of our phenomenology that we might wish to introspect is our experience of selfhood. In particular, Galen Strawson views phenomenology as particularly useful for reasoning about the …

Introspection Through an Authoritative, Authoritarian, Permissive Lens: Implications for Self-Efficacy, Affect, and Motivation
<p>Introspection plays a critical role in motivation, achievement, and well-being. However, little research has investigated how introspection may mirror Baumrind’s (1967) parenting styles (authoritative, authoritarian, and permissive), suggesting that the ways individuals were parented could be …

Improving Digital Forensics and Incident Analysis in Production Environments by Using Virtual Machine Introspection
… forensics and its special form, virtual machine introspection (VMI), are powerful tools for digital forensics and can be used to improve the security of computer-based systems. However, their use in production systems is often not possible. This work identifies the causes and offers practical …

Introspective C++
Introspection has become a significant language feature to enable new component technologies. It enables such capabilities as runtime component discovery, new levels of component flexibility and change tolerance, dynamic reconfiguration and system self healing. Three levels of introspection are …
