Safecracking for the computer scientist∗

This paper is a general survey of safe and vault security from a computer science perspective, with emphasis on the metrics used to evaluate these systems and the weaknesses that cause them to fail. We examine security against forced, covert and surreptitious safe opening, focusing on the mechanical combination locks most commonly used on commercial safes in the US. Our analysis contrasts the p...

A computer scientist looks at game theory

I consider issues in distributed computation that should be of relevance to game theory. In particular, I focus on (a) representing knowledge and uncertainty, (b) dealing with failures, and (c) specification of mechanisms.  2003 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved. JEL classification: D80; D83

How to Educate a Computer Scientist

What can you expect a computer science graduate to know? If you had a chance to design a modern curriculum for a computer science program, what would you emphasize? Should a curriculum designed today be different from what you studied? The answer to the question of what to teach computer scientists evolves over time as technologies, applications, and requirements change. As software technology ...
