— We study hybrid search schemes for unstructured peer-to-peer networks. We quantify performance in terms of number of hits, network overhead, and response time. Our schemes comb...
Abstract— Masking is a general method used to thwart Differential Power Analysis, in which all the intermediate data inside an implementation are XORed with random Boolean values...
Time, events, changes, and processes play a major role in medical conceptual modeling. Representation of time-structures and reasoning about time-oriented medical data are importan...
Weighted threshold functions with positive weights are a natural generalization of unweighted threshold functions. These functions are clearly monotone. However, the naive way of ...
This paper is devoted to the study of the weights of binary irreducible cyclic codes. We start from McEliece’s interpretation of these weights by means of Gauss sums. Firstly, a ...
