The performances of three major time memory tradeoff algorithms were compared in a recent paper. The algorithms considered there were the classical Hellman tradeoff and the non-perfect table versions of the distinguished point method and the rainbow table method. This paper adds the perfect table versions of the distinguished point method and the rainbow table method to the list, so that all th...

In this paper, a joint environmental and economic analysis of different Wastewater Treatment Plant (WWTP) control strategies is carried out. The assessment is based on the application of the Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) as a method to evaluate the environmental impact and the Benchmark Simulation Model No. 1 (BSM1). The BSM1 is taken as the benchmark scenario used to implement the control strate...

Most of the methodological literature on evaluating an additional marker for risk prediction involves purely statistical measures of classification performance. A disadvantage of a purely statistical measure is the difficulty in deciding the improvement in the measure that would make inclusion of the additional marker worthwhile. In contrast, a medical decision making approach can weigh the co...

In secure multicast communication, group key management plays an essential role for the guarantee of data confidentiality and integrity. Because communication bandwidth is a limited resource, most group key management schemes for scalable secure multicast communications have focused on reducing the number of update messages, i.e., communication cost. To alleviate the scalability problem, a key ...

The design of buildings is a multi-criterion optimization problem, there always being a tradeoff to be made between capital expenditure, operating cost, and occupant thermal comfort. This paper investigates the application of a multi-objective genetic algorithm (MOGA) search method in the identification of the optimum payoff characteristic between the elements of the building design problem. Re...
