Abstract In 1989, den Boer presented the first card-based protocol, called “five-card trick,” that securely computes AND function using a deck of physical cards via series actions such as shuffling and turning over cards. This protocol enables couple to confirm their mutual love without revealing individual feelings. During secure computation it is important keep any information about inputs se...

Software design is a complicated process, and novice designers have seldom been taught how to reason with a design. They use a naturalistic approach to work their way through software design. In order to impart the use of design techniques, a card game was developed to help design reasoning. This game was tested on groups of students and resulted in noticeable differences between the control an...

Cribbage is (normally) a two-player card game where the aim is to score 121 points before your opponent. The game has four stages, one of which involves discarding two cards from the six cards you are dealt. A later stage scores the four cards in your hand together with a card cut randomly from the deck after the discards have been made. The two cards that were discarded are used to form anothe...

The new generation of commodity graphics cards with significant on-board video memory has become widely popular and provides high-performance rendering and flexibility. One of the features to be exploited with this hardware is the use of the on-board video memory to store geometry information. This strategy significantly reduces the data transfer overhead from sending geometry data over the (AG...

An algorithm i s developed for searching the trees of "perfect information" games involving chance events. Many dice games (e.g. backgammon, craps, and monopoly and similar board games), and some card games (e.g. casino blackjack), have this property. For depth 3 trees, empirical observation reveals a search reduction of more than 50 percent, while closed-form analysis reveals a best-case compl...

Scholars have been using the wrong card games to analyze Carl von Clausewitz’s analogies in On War, which has led errors understanding his ideas. This article identifies Clausewitz discusses, allowing for a more accurate interpretation of original meaning study war. Since ideas underpin strategy development within service education systems, it is critical are fully understood context.
