The growing Internet of Things (IoT) market demands side-channel attack resistant, efficient, cryptographic implementations. Such implementations, however, are microarchitecture-specific, and cannot be implemented without an in-depth structural knowledge the CPU memory information leakage patterns; a description such leakages is presently not disclosed by any processor design company. In this w...

The proposed model, by incorporating both 1) banker screening of new issues and 2) costly evaluation by investors, is the first to admit endogenous double-sided information production. It demonstrates a nontrivial link between these two sides: the banker wishes to structure a sale conducive to investor research because selling to an uninformed pool would result in his own shirking. One applicat...

As it stands the Internet’s “one size fits all” approach to information retrieval presents the average user with a serious information overload problem. Adaptive hypermedia systems can provide a solution to this problem by learning about the implicit and explicit preferences of individual users and using this information to personalise information retrieval processes. We describe and evaluate a...

The ability to discriminate and distinguish among individual documents in the ever-increasing volume of information available through digital networks is becoming more and more difficult. With websites being added to the 100 million installed base by tens of thousands per month, information overload is inevitable (H. Berghel, 1997). There are two basic paradigms for dealing with this informatio...

Online health communities and support groups are a valuable source of information for users suffering from a physical or mental illness. Users turn to these forums for moral support or advice on specific conditions, symptoms, or side effects of medications. This paper describes and studies the linguistic patterns of a community of support forum users over time focused on the used of anxious rel...

Online navigation is often considered to be an enjoyable activity, and users often use lighthearted terms about that activity, such as “surfing” and “cruising” the Web. Unfortunately, there is indeed a dark side to online navigation, with many users becoming lost among unfamiliar terms and suffering long delays. In this research-in-progress study we describe our experimental examination of two ...
