: A distributed system is scalable if the rate at which it completes its computation and communication tasks does not depend on its size. As an example, the scalability of a peer-t...
We propose the concept of fine-grained forward-secure signature schemes. Such signature schemes not only provide non-repudiation w.r.t. past time periods the way ordinary forward-...
Min, Veeravalli, and Barlas have proposed strategies to minimize the overall execution time of one or several divisible loads on a heterogeneous linear network, using one or more ...
We consider a formal model of stimulus encoding with a circuit consisting of a bank of filters and an ensemble of integrate-and-fire neurons. Such models arise in olfactory system...
The stichotrichous ciliates are uni-cellular organisms which undergo a series of complex unscrambling of genetic encodings. This ability to rearrange DNA to produce the correct pr...
