EmergingWireless Sensor Network (WSN) applications demand considerable computation capacity for in-network processing in resource limited WSN environments. To achieve the required processing capacity under energy consumption constraints, collaboration among sensors through parallel processing methods emerges as a promising solution. Although such methods have been extensively studied in wired n...

Secure multi-party protocols have been proposed for entities (organizations or individuals) that don’t fully trust each other to share sensitive information. Many types of entities need to collect, analyze, and disseminate data rapidly and accurately, without exposing sensitive information to unauthorized or untrusted parties. Solutions based on secure multi-party computation guarantee privacy ...

The numerical solution of a non-smooth minimization problem arising in the stress analysis of a plastic body is investigated. The problem of interest is the computation of the maximal stress of an elastic three-dimensional body under external forces [3, 18]. The computation of that threshold allows one to determine if the material can support the forces applied to it or if the traction on the m...

We derive a closed-form expression for the capacity of the additive-Gaussian-noise memoryless channel with binary input. The capacity expression that we obtain contains an infinite series. Truncation of the series -for computation reasonsat an odd or even number of terms results in a lower or upper, respectively, bound on the channel capacity; we prove that the tightness of the bound increases ...

While expensive cryptographically verifiable computation aims at defeating malicious agents, many civil purposes of outsourced computation tolerate a weaker notion of security, i.e., " lazy-but-honest " contractors. Targeting this type of agents, we develop optimal contracts for outsourcing of computational tasks via appropriate use of rewards, punishments, auditing rate, and " redundancy ". Ou...

Many research works have recently experimented with GPU to accelerate packet processing in network applications. Most works have shown that GPU brings a significant performance boost when it is compared to the CPUonly approach, thanks to its highly-parallel computation capacity and large memory bandwidth. However, a recent work argues that for many applications, the key enabler for high perform...

Quantum correlations are central to the foundations of quantum physics and form basis technologies. Here, our goal is connect computation: using as a resource for computation - vice versa, test correlations. We derive Bell-type inequalities that capacity states computing Boolean functions experimentally investigate them 4-photon Greenberger-Horne-Zeilinger (GHZ) states. Further, we show how gen...
