Imagine organising a birthday party for a group of young children. Would you agree a set of learning objectives with their parents in advance of the party? Would those objectives be aligned with the mission statement for education in the society to which you belong? Would you create a project plan for the party with clear milestones associated with empirical measures of achievement? Would you s...

a r t i c l e i n f o This study examined task specific effects of third-party ostracism on imitative fidelity in early childhood (N = 96, 3–6-year-olds). Start-and end-states of action sequences were manipulated to examine the effects of priming third-party ostracism versus affiliation on children's imitation of instrumental (i.e., action sequence with a different start-and end-state) versus s...

Introduced by Yao in early 1980s, secure computation is being one among the major area of research interest among cryptologists. In three decades of its growth, secure computation which can be called as two-party computation, or multiparty computation depending on the number of parties involved has experienced vast diversities. Research has been carried out by exploiting specific properties of ...

This paper proposes an opportunistic framework to modeling and control of multi-robots moving-target pursuit in dynamic environment with partial observability. The partial observability is achieved via the introduction of third party agent (referred to as mediator) that transforms the target’s as well as group members’ positioning information into the robotic agents’ common knowledge, thereby e...

Secure Computation in Heterogeneous Environments: How to Bring Multiparty Computation Closer to Practice?

Practical and Deployable Secure Multi-Party Computation

Student Council voted last night in an emergency session to appeal for faculty support in its campaign for campus democracy. The motion requests "the various faculties to determine that the question of a binding referendum (on the draft) is a matter of administrative affairs and therefore one to be rightly determined by j£e administration " President lue l l G. Gallagher has placed the question...

In this paper, comparative study of different available Secure Multiparty Computation (SMC) protocols have been addressed. In SMC, a set of parties wishes to jointly compute some function on their inputs. This computation must preserve certain security properties, like privacy and correctness. The general approach for such kind of computation is to make use of trusted third party to do the comp...
