RRB vector: a practical general purpose immutable sequence

RRB-Trees: Efficient Immutable Vectors

Immutable vectors are a convenient data structure for functional programming and part of the standard library of modern languages like Clojure and Scala. The common implementation is based on wide trees with a fixed number of children per node, which allows fast indexed lookup and update operations. In this paper we extend the vector data type with a new underlying data structure, Relaxed Radix...

Towards a General-Purpose Sequence Design System in DNA Computing

Sequence design has turned out to be a crucial factor in successful DNA computing. In this paper, we present a support system for sequence design in DNA computing. Our system can fit various requirements for sequence design. The β-version of this software is available for download.

A General Purpose Cryptography Survey

For far too long an end-user’s interaction with an application using cryptography has been ignored. Cryptography needs to be simplified and evolve such that users do not need to know they are even using it. While the required user-input must remain minimal the difficulties related to securing communication must be resolved automatically. Ubiquitous encrypted communication will not occur until t...
