The subject of quantum computing brings together ideas from classical information theory, computer science, and quantum physics. This review aims to summarize not just quantum computing, but the whole subject of quantum information theory. ...

Computational Molecular Biology

In one of the first major texts in the emerging field of computational molecular biology, Pavel Pevzner covers a broad range of algorithmic and combinatorial topics and shows how they are connected to molecular biology and to biotechnology....

Externally triggered drug delivery systems

Externally triggered drug delivery systems empower patients or healthcare providers to utilize external stimuli to initiate drug release from implanted systems. This approach holds significant potential for clinical disease management, offe...

Aurelia: Dynamic asynchronous BFT with bandwidth-efficient bootstrapping

Dynamic asynchronous Byzantine Fault-Tolerant (BFT) protocols provide strong consistency guarantees in open networks with unbounded communication delays and evolving membership, making them a fundamental building block for long-lived distri...

Kalman Filtering for Discrete Stochastic Systems with Multiplicative Noises and Random Two-Step Sensor Delays

This paper is concerned with the optimal Kalman filtering problem for a class of discrete stochastic systems with multiplicative noises and random two-step sensor delays. Three Bernoulli distributed random variables with known conditional p...

Design Considerations for a Distributed Low-Cost Air Quality Sensing System for Urban Environments in Low-Resource Settings

With rapid urbanization, hazardous environmental exposures such as air, noise, plastic, soil and water pollution have emerged as a major threat to urban health. Recent studies show that 9 out of 10 people worldwide breathe contaminated air ...

Formal Techniques for Distributed Systems

Synthesizing distributed systems

In system synthesis, we transform a specification into a system that is guaranteed to satisfy the specification. When the system is distributed, the goal is to construct the system's underlying processes. Results on multi-player games imply...

Distributed Systems: Concepts and Design

Broad and up-to-date coverage of the principles and practice in the fast moving area of Distributed Systems. Distributed Systems provides students of computer science and engineering with the skills they will need to design and maintain sof...

Battery Energy Storage Capacity Estimation for Microgrids Using Digital Twin Concept

Globally, renewable energy-based power generation is experiencing exponential growth due to concerns over the environmental impacts of traditional power generation methods. Microgrids (MGs) are commonly employed to integrate renewable sourc...

Information theory and statistics

The main theorems in information theory and statistics are put in context, the differences are discussed, and some of the open research problems are mentioned. The author demonstrates some of the points of intersection of information theory...

Identification of confounders and estimating the causal effect of place of birth on age-specific childhood vaccination

Abstract Background In causal analyses, some third factor may distort the relationship between the exposure and the outcome variables under study, which gives spurious results. In this case, treatment groups and control groups that receive ...

Event-Based Moving Target Defense in Cloud Computing With VM Migration: A Performance Modeling Approach

The domain of information security is undergoing significant evolution to address the increasingly complex challenges aimed at bolstering system resilience against attacks. The Moving Target Defense (MTD) methodology, which entails altering...

Organically distributed sustainable storage clusters

The ability to create low-cost, high-availability, moderate-performance, low-power, sustainable file storage clusters that may be organically distributed throughout an organization would allow organizations to bring data back from cloud-bas...

A Review of Cybersecurity Concerns for Transactive Energy Markets

Advances in energy generation and distribution technology have created the need for new power management paradigms. Transactive energy markets are integrated software and hardware systems that enable optimized energy management and direct t...

Detecting command injection attacks in web applications based on novel deep learning methods

Abstract Web command injection attacks pose significant security threats to web applications, leading to potential server information leakage or severe server disruption. Traditional detection methods struggle with the increasing complexity...

A Bloom filter-based dynamic symmetric searchable encryption scheme over cloud data

Abstract In this paper, a searchable encryption scheme for cloud data is proposed to address the limitations of existing schemes, which suffer from inefficient index construction and search process, as well as a lack of support for dynamic ...

Beyond Herd Immunity Against Strategic Attackers

Herd immunity, one of the most fundamental concepts in network epidemics, occurs when a large fraction of the population of devices is immune against a virus or malware. The few individuals who have not taken countermeasures against the thr...
