Five commercially available encryption packages for the IBM PC are described and broken.

The paper discusses the development of an IBM PC based tool, for calculating train braking distances for various train classes on a rail network. There is discussion on current industry practice and the limitations of that practice, the concept of the tool itself, including the assumptions made, the strategy adopted to minimise the risk of incorrect calculations, and the results of adopting tha...

A further commercially available encryption package for the IBM PC is analysed, and a simple breaking program is described.

in this paper we formulate and prove some xed and common xed pointtheorems for self-mappings de ned on complete lower transversal functionalprobabilistic spaces.

Player-Compatible Equilibrium (PCE) imposes cross-player restrictions on the magnitudes of players' “trembles” onto different strategies. These capture idea that trembles correspond to deliberate experiments by agents who are unsure prevailing distribution play. PCE selects intuitive equilibria in a number examples where trembling-hand perfect equilibrium (Selten, 1975) and proper (Myerson, 197...

The ROMVOX Text-toaSpeech synthesis system developed by our team is the first one that allowed the synthesis of any unrestricted Romanian text with intonation facilities on 1BM-PC compatible computers. During the last years of research several version of text-to-speech systems were achieved, trying to enhance their facilities. Our paper describes the present stage of our experiments performed i...

We present a next-generation architecture that addresses problems of dependability, maintainability, and manageability of I/O devices and their software drivers on the PC platform. Our architecture resolves both hardware and software issues, exploiting emerging hardware features to improve device safety. Our high-performance implementation, based on the Xen virtual machine monitor, provides an ...
