Issues in Implementation of Public Key Cryptosystems

A new class of moduli called the low-weight polynomial form integers (LWPFIs) is introduced. LWPFIs are expressed in a low-weight, monic polynomial form, p = f(t). While the generalized Mersenne numbers (GMNs) proposed by Solinas allow only powers of two for t, LWPFIs allow any positive integers. In our first proposal of LWPFIs, we limit the coefficients of f(t) to be 0 and ±1, but later we ext...

Planning Under Uncertainty: Some Key Issues

A planner in the real world must be able to handle uncertainty. It must be able to reason about the eeect of uncertainty on its plans, select plans that avoid uncertain outcomes when possible, and make contingency plans against diierent possible outcomes when uncertainty cannot be avoided. We have constructed such a planner, Cassandra, which has these properties. Using Cassandra, we have produc...

Social Issues in Post Disaster Reconstruction Planning

Post disaster reconstruction in the destructed zones entails the social aspects in addition to the physical and urban aspects, because of the presence of affected people in the very location. The presented research aims to assess the social aspects of the post disaster conditions in the course of reconstruction, which take into consideration the related social factors in the affected community....

Key Issues in Integrated Resource Planning for Electric Utilities

Integrated resource planning (IRP) is a new way for utilities and state regulatory commissions to consistently assess a variety of demand and supply resources to cost-effectively meet customer energy-service needs. This paper reviews recent progress in IRP and identifies the need for additional work by utilities, regulatory commissions, and other organizations. Kevwords: demand-side management,...
