For a large class of examples arising in statistical physics known as attractive spin systems (e.g., the Ising model), one seeks to sample from a probability distribution π on an...
It is widely recognized that real-time,fault-tolerant and distributed computing technologies play a key role in the deployment of many current andfuture (civilian or Defense) crit...
Most encryption algorithms are designed without regard to their performance on top-of-the-line microprocessors. This paper discusses general optimization principles algorithms desi...
A new technique for design centering, and for polytope approximation of the feasible region for a design are presented. In the rst phase, the feasible region is approximated by a ...
