Speaker: Prof. A. E. Krener Abstract: The Hamilton Jacobi Bellman partial differential equation arises in the solution of optimal control problems. It is a first order, nonlinear, hyperbolic PDE that...
View ArticleRouter Buffer Sizing Revisited: The Role of the Output/Input Capacity Ratio
Speaker: Prof. C. Dovrolis Abstract: The issue of router buffer sizing is still open and significant. Previous work either considers open-loop traffic or only analyzes persistent TCP flows. Our work...
View ArticleHow I broke AES (Advanced Encryption Standard) — if I did it
Speaker: Dr. W. D. Smith Abstract: We describe a new simple but more powerful form of linear cryptanalysis. It appears to break AES (and undoubtedly other cryptosystems too, e.g. SKIPJACK). *But the...

Speaker: Dr. F. Markowetz Abstract: Cellular mechanisms are driven by interactions between proteins, DNA and RNA, working together in cellular pathways. Current knowledge of information flow in the...
View ArticleOn Fair Coexistence of Wireless Networks via CSMA Based Transmission Algorithms
Speaker: Prof. M. Alanyali Abstract: This talk will touch on wireless coexistence issues that arise due to higher spatial density of spectrum usage. We consider a fairness perspective for autonomous...
View ArticleAsymptotic Properties of Volterra Equations
Speaker: Prof. E.C. Velasco Abstract: Volterra integral and difference equations may be used to model the dynamics of physical systems (viscoelasticity, motion of bodies with reference to hereditary)...
View ArticleOn the Design of Doubly-Generalized Low-Density Parity-Check Code
Speaker: Dr. M. Flanagan Abstract: Doubly-generalized low-density parity-check (D-GLDPC) codes offer an attractive compromise between algebraic and random code design philosophies. In this talk we...
