Research in sociology studies the effectiveness of social networks in achieving computational tasks. Typically the agents who are supposed to achieve a task are unaware of the underlying social network except their immediate friends. They have limited memory, communication, and coordination. These limitations result in computational obstacles in achieving otherwise trivial computational problem...

We give a protocol for Asynchronous Distributed Key Generation (A-DKG) that is optimally resilient (can withstand $${{\varvec{f}}}<\frac{{{\varvec{n}}}}{{{\varvec{3}}}}$$ faulty parties), has constant expected number of rounds, $${{\varvec{O}}}({\varvec{\lambda }} {{\varvec{n}}}^{{\varvec{3}}})$$ communication complexity, and assumes only the existence PKI. Prior to our work, best A-DKG protoco...

the study aims to reveal that a valid and effective standard, which formerly issued, may reflect the needs and expectation of few interested powerful bodies due to the neutral comments and dearth of lobbyists in the process of setting the standard. the research investigates the working of the iasb, by exploring the standard setting process specifically in relation to the standard on business co...
