Quantum information and computation is the new hype in physics. It is promising, mindboggling and even already applicable in cryptography, with good prospects ahead. A brief, rathe...
We coiisider a situation where two parties, Alice and Bob, share a common secret string arid would like to mutually check their knowledge of that string. We describe a simple and e...
A novel algorithm is described for coding objects in video compression systems which gives complete control over the bit allocation to the video objects. The method is evaluated b...
Rapid increases in computing and communication performance are exacerbating the long-standing problem of performance-limited input/output. Indeed, for many otherwise scalable para...
