Animations in pdfTEX-Generated PDF

This paper presents a new approach for creating animations in Portable Document Format (PDF). The method of animation authoring described uses free software (pdfTEX) only. The animations are viewable by any viewer that supports at least some features of Acrobat JavaScript, particularly Adobe (Acrobat) Reader, which is available at no cost for a wide variety of platforms. Furthermore, the capabi...

MacQTEX: Online self-marking Quizzes, using pdfTEX and exerquiz

The MacQTEX quiz system uses JavaScript [1, 9] embedded within PDF format [4] documents to allow students to do multiple-choice style quizzes. The Internet may be used to supply the quiz document, and to record results. But even when not connected, there is immediate feedback as to how many questions were answered correctly and what are the correct answers, as well as providing worked solutions...

Cryptographic Primitives

A symmetric or private-key cipher is one in which knowledge of the encryption key is explicitly or implicitly equivalent to knowing the decryption key. An asymmetric or public-key cipher is one in which the encryption key is effectively public knowledge, without giving any useful information about the decryption key. Until 30 years ago all ciphers were private-key. The very possibility of publi...

Mapping Specification-level primitives to IP-primitives: A Case Study

In system-level platform-based embedded systems design, it is crucial to model accurately and efficiently all steps needed when mapping an application specification onto a pre-specified architecture specification. The availability of an accurate high-level mapping method leads to: 1) a fast and accurate performance estimation and 2) an efficient designspace exploration. While our previous work ...
