We consider the information exchange problem where each in a set of terminals transmits information to all other terminals in the set, over an undirected network. We show that the design of only a single network code for multicasting is sufficient to achie ...
Vehicular communication (VC) systems are developed primarily to enhance transportation safety and efficiency. Vehicle-to-vehicle communication, in particular frequent cooperative awareness messages or safety beacons, have been considered over the past year ...
At the RFID Security Workshop 2007, Adi Shamir presented a new challenge-response protocol well suited for RFIDs, although based on the Rabin public-key cryptosystem. This protocol, which we call SQUASH-0, was using a linear mixing function which was subse ...
Information security is vital to many multiagent system applications. In this paper we formalise the notion of detectability of attacks in a MAS setting and analyse its applicability. We introduce a taxonomy of detectability specifications expressed in tem ...

This paper presents results from static loads tests performed on the new Langensand Bridge built in Switzerland. A systematic study of over 1000 models subjected to three load cases identifies a set of 11 candidate models through static measurements. Predi ...

The need for nodes to be able to generate their own address and verify those from others, without relying on a global trusted authority, is a well-known problem in networking. One popular technique for solving this problem is to use self-certifying address ...

Former PhD students, post-docs and junior researchers of the Section de chimie et biochimie now holding positions at different universities and private companies remember the time they spent in Geneva and give an account of how this has set off and influen ...
The k-set-agreement problem consists for a set of n processes to agree on less than k among n possibly different Values, each initially known to only one process. The problem is at the heart of distributed computing and generalizes the celebrated consensus ...
Manageability directly influences a system's reliability, availability, security, and safety, thus being a key ingredient of system dependability. Alas, we do not have today a good way to measure manageability or reason quantitatively about it, and this is ...
We set an upper bound on the gravitational cutoff in theories with exact quantum numbers of large N periodicity, such as Z(N) discrete symmetries. The bound stems from black hole physics. It is similar to the bound appearing in theories with N particle spe ...
