Anonymous Hierarchical Identity-Based Encryption (Without Random Oracles). In: Dwork

by Xavier Boyen , Brent Waters - CRYPTO 2006. LNCS, , 2006
"... Abstract We present an identity-based cryptosystem that features fully anonymous ciphertexts and hierarchical key delegation. We give a proof of security in the standard model, based on the mild Decision Linear complexity assumption in bilinear groups. The system is efficient and practical, with sm ..."

"... ABSTRACT This article aims at proposing some elements for a grounded theor y of the network society. The network society is the social structure characteristic of the Information Age, as tentatively identi ed by empirical, cross-cultural investigation. It permeates most societies in the world, in v ..."

will not discuss here the many important, and fruitful, theoretical contributions that exist in sociology and related disciplines, which could anchor the categories and analyses proposed in this article. I will present an argument as schematic, and simpli ed as possible, so that it could be useful to sociologists

Indicators for Social and Economic Coping Capacity - Moving Toward a Working Definition of Adaptive Capacity”, Wesleyan-CMU Working Paper.

by Gary Yohe , Richard S J Tol , Gary Yohe , 2001
"... Abstract This paper offers a practically motivated method for evaluating systems' abilities to handle external stress. The method is designed to assess the potential contributions of various adaptation options to improving systems' coping capacities by focusing attention directly on the u ..."

SIMILARITY, PRECEDENT AND ARGUMENT FROM ANALOGY

by Douglas Walton Crrar
"... Abstract In this paper, it is shown (1) that there are two schemes for argument from analogy that seem to be competitors but are not, (2) how one of them is based on a distinctive type of similarity premise, Key words: stories; case-based reasoning; argument from classification; argumentation. Thi ..."

Designing an Algorithmic Proof of the Two-Squares Theorem

by João F. Ferreira
"... Abstract. We show a new and constructive proof of the two-squares theorem, based on a somewhat unusual, but very effective, way of rewriting the so-called extended Euclid’s algorithm. Rather than simply verifying the result — as it is usually done in the mathematical community — we use Euclid’s algo ..."

role in our development: it is used initially to observe that Euclid’s algorithm can actually be used to represent a given number as a sum of two positive squares, and then it is used throughout the argument to prove other relevant properties. We also show how the use of program inversion techniques

Supporting Self-explanation of Argument Transcripts: Specific v. Generic Prompts

by Vincent Aleven, Niels Pinkwart, Kevin Ashley, Collin Lynch
"... Abstract. We are developing an intelligent tutoring system that helps beginning law students learn argumentation skills through the study of transcripts of oral argument sessions before the US Supreme Court. These transcripts exemplify complex reasoning processes in which proposed decision rules are ..."

Load Balancing and Density Dependent Jump Markov Processes (Extended Abstract)

by Michael Mitzenbacher - In Proceedings of the 37th IEEE Symposium on Foundations of Computer Science , 1996
"... Michael Mitzenmacher Department of Computer Science U.C. Berkeley Berkeley, CA 94720 mitzen@cs.berkeley.edu Abstract We provide a new approach for analyzing both static and dynamic randomized load balancing strategies. We demonstrate the approach by providing the first analysis of the following ..."

Searching and Browsing Linked Data with SWSE: the Semantic Web Search Engine

by Aidan Hogan , Andreas Harth, Jürgen Umbrich , Sheila Kinsella , Axel Polleres , Stefan Decker , 2011
"... In this paper, we discuss the architecture and implementation of the Semantic Web Search Engine (SWSE). Following traditional search engine architecture, SWSE consists of crawling, data enhancing, indexing and a user interface for search, browsing and retrieval of information; unlike traditional sea ..."

of each individual component. In so doing, we also give an insight into how current Semantic Web standards can be tailored, in a besteffort manner, for use on Web data. Throughout, we offer evaluation and complementary argumentation to support our design choices, and also offer discussion on future

Research through design fiction: Narrative in real and imaginary abstracts

by Mark Blythe - in Proceedings of the ACM SIGCHI Conference on Human Factors in Computing Systems - CHI 2014 , 2014
"... ABSTRACT This paper reflects on the uses of prototypes in "Research through Design" and considers "Design Fiction" as a technique for exploring the potential value of new design work. It begins with an analysis of Research through Design abstracts in the ACM digital library and ..."

written for a project investigating new and emerging forms of reproduction in Art. The fictions take the form of "imaginary abstracts" which summarize findings of papers that have not been written about prototypes that do not exist. It is argued that framing concept designs as fictional studies

Knowledge and structure in social algorithms (extended abstract). Presented at Stony Brook Conference on Game Theory

by Rohit Parikh , 2007
"... Abstract: The first third of the XXth century saw two important developments. One of these was Ramsey’s tracing of personal probabilities to an agent’s choices. This was a precursor to the work of de Finetti, von Neumann and Morgenstern, and Savage. The other one was Turing’s invention of the Turing ..."

algorithms work. We will try in this paper to bring attention to the importance of the two issues of knowledge and logical structure of algorithms, and show the way to a broader arena in which game theorists might want to play. Hopefully, in fact almost certainly, there is a rich general theory
