Creator is a concurrent simulator for design veri cation and fault simulation of large circuits which highly integrates several traditional and innovative techniques. This is achieved by the introduction of a minimal information concept. Traditional techniques derived from previous works are Multiple List Traversal (MLT), trigger inhibition, fraternal event processing, list events and clock sup...

A key driver that motivates individuals to contribute to social media is to obtain reputation. This paper investigates the reputation and its formation in the context of YouTube, the largest online video site. Views of video lead to views of the provider’s channel, and then channel views lead to subscriptions, through which the provider build up her reputation on YouTube. Subscriptions in turn ...

In this article, we explore the concepts and applications of Web 2.0 through the new media of NeoGeography and its impact on how we collect, interact and search for spatial information. We argue that location and space are becoming increasingly important in the information technology revolution. To this end, we present a series of software tools which we have designed to facilitate the non-expe...

The creator of an artifact, by virtue of having made the object, has privileged knowledge about its intended function. Do children recognize that the label an artifact's creator uses can convey this privileged information? 3- and 4-year-olds were presented with an object that looked like a member of one familiar artifact category, but which the speaker referred to with the label of a different ...

A digital movie can be created jointly under the cooperation of many creators. It is then necessary to provide protection to the creatorship of each participating creator. In this paper, we propose a framework for providing the creatorship protection of multiple creators involved in creating the object-based digital movie. The proposed framework makes use of digital watermarking techniques and ...

Copyright is used to protect the rights of the consumers and the creators of the Intellectual Property (IP). The ease of creation, modification, distribution, compatibility and above all, a large market opportunity drive the creator and the consumer to move towards digitization to create and use their IP in digital form called Digital Intellectual Property (DIP). In India the existing copyright...

Recent results have shown the usefulness of tamper-proof hardware tokens as a setup assumption for building UC-secure two-party computation protocols, thus providing broad security guarantees and allowing the use of such protocols as buildings blocks in the modular design of complex cryptography protocols. All these works have in common that they assume the tokens to be completely isolated from...

Outsider Art (art brut) is defined as a mode of original artistic expression which thrives on its independence, shunning the public sphere and the art market. Such art can be highly idiosyncratic and secretive, and reflects the individual creator's attempt to construct a coherent, albeit strange, private world. Certain practitioners of what may be termed autistic art are examined in the light o...
