Attaining Goals Through Partnerships

" To make interesting scientific discoveries, you should acquire as many good friends as possible, who are as energetic, intelligent, and knowledgeable as they can be. " Herbert A. Simpson, Nobel Laureate Models of My Life 1996 Popular science fiction novels and movies frequently portray scientists as solitary eccentrics conducting experiments in laboratories hidden behind revolving bookcases. ...

Attaining Monotonicity for Bayesian Networks

Many real-life Bayesian networks are expected to exhibit commonly known properties of monotonicity, in the sense that higher values for the observable variables should make higher values for the main variable of interest more likely. Yet, violations of these properties may inadvertently be introduced into a network despite careful engineering efforts. In this paper, we present a method for reso...

Another Method for Attaining Security

Practical approaches to constructing public key cryptosystems secure against chosen ciphertext attacks were rst initiated by Damgard and further extended by Zheng and Seberry. In this paper we rst point out that in some cryptosystems proposed by Zheng and Seberry the method for adding authentication capability may fail just under known plaintext attacks. Next, we present a new method for immuni...
