Cognitive Computation: An Introduction

Coevolutionary Computation: An Introduction

Agent technology is synonymous with advanced computer software and a growing body of work exists on the use of adaptive techniques within the agent paradigm (e.g. [Kozierok & Maes 1993]). The distributed and/or multi-faceted nature of complex problem domains, such as network routing or process control, has lead to the extension of agent frameworks to multi-agent systems, both within traditional...

Multiparty Computation, an Introduction

These lecture notes introduce the notion of secure multiparty computation. We introduce some concepts necessary to define what it means for a multiparty protocol to be secure, and survey some known general results that describe when secure multiparty computation is possible. We then look at some general techniques for building secure multiparty protocols, including protocols for commitment and ...

An Introduction to Evolutionary Computation

Researchers in many fields are faced with computational problems in which a great number of solutions are possible and finding an optimal or even a sufficiently good one is difficult. A variety of search techniques have been developed for exploring such problem spaces, and a promising approach has been the use of algorithms based upon the principles of natural evolution. This tutorial will intr...

An Introduction to Differential Computation Analysis (DCA) on the withe-box cryptography algorithms

Advances in information and communication technologies lead to use of some new devices such as smart phones. The new devices provide more advantages for the adversaries hence with respect to them, one can define with-box cryptography. In this new model of cryptography, designers try to hide the key using as a kind of implementation. The Differential Computation Analysis (DCA) is a side channel ...
