We study two problems of private matrix multiplication, over a distributed computing system consisting master node, and multiple servers that collectively store family public matrices using Maximum-Distance-Separable (MDS) codes. In the first problem Private Secure Matrix Multiplication (PSMM) from colluding servers, intends to compute product its confidential A with target stored on without re...

This two part article establishes a model of the mediating factors that influence student information behavior concerning electronic or digital information sources that support their learning. The first part reviews the literature that underpinned the development of the research methodology for the JISC User Behavior Monitoring and Evaluation Framework, as well as the literature that has subseq...

Information storage is a key component of intrinsic distributed computation. Despite the existence of appropriate measures for it (e.g. excess entropy), its role in interacting with information transfer and modification to give rise to distributed computation is not yet well-established. We explore how to quantify information storage on a local scale in space and time, so as to understand its r...

abstract: water quality of dam storage is highly affected by upstream environment and basin. regarding other conducted studies, there exist various reasons such as some studies and general monitoring of dams which cause some main problems including salinity, chemical and microbial pollution eutrophication, and sedimentation. chame-gardalan storage dam in ilam province is one of the storages whi...

the principal goal of this research is the feasibility study of presentation electronic reference services in such centers. in this research, we apply measuring methods in different stages. through this way, we attempt to focus on special governmental information centers in tehran which use internet for acquisition and dissemination of information and also for reference services, methods of col...

Since 1980, the Society for Information Management (SIM), in a joint effort with different universities, has conducted an annual survey of the key issues facing IT executives. Over time, these studies have expanded to include questions about spending, workforce, sourcing, reporting relationships, performance measurement, and various other IT organizational and management practices. They also ex...

We use a standard discrete-time linear Gaussian model to analyze the information storage capability of individual nodes in complex networks, given the network structure and link weights. In particular, we investigate the role of two- and three-node motifs in contributing to local information storage. We show analytically that directed feedback and feedforward loop motifs are the dominant contri...
