On the construction of parallel computers from various bases of Boolean functions

The effects of bases of two-input boolean functions are characterised in terms of their impact on some questions in parallel computation. It is found that a certain set of bases (called the P-complete set) which are not necessarily complete in the classical sense, apparently makes the circuit value problem difficult, and renders extended Turing machines and conglomerates equal to general parallel computers. A class of problems called EP arises naturally from this study, relating to the parity of the number of solutions to a problem, in contrast to previously defined classes concerning the count of the number of solutions (#P) or the existence of solutions to a problem (NP). Tournament isomorphism is a member of EP

Secure pseudo-random linear binary sequences generators based on arithmetic polynoms

We present a new approach to constructing of pseudo-random binary sequences (PRS) generators for the purpose of cryptographic data protection, secured from the perpetrator's attacks, caused by generation of masses of hardware errors and faults. The new method is based on use of linear polynomial arithmetic for the realization of systems of boolean characteristic functions of PRS' generators. "Arithmetizatio" of systems of logic formulas has allowed to apply mathematical apparatus of residue systems for multisequencing of the process of PRS generation and organizing control of computing errors, caused by hardware faults. This has guaranteed high security of PRS generator's functioning and, consequently, security of tools for cryptographic data protection based on those PRSs

An overview of decision table literature 1982-1995.

This report gives an overview of the literature on decision tables over the past 15 years. As much as possible, for each reference, an author supplied abstract, a number of keywords and a classification are provided. In some cases own comments are added. The purpose of these comments is to show where, how and why decision tables are used. The literature is classified according to application area, theoretical versus practical character, year of publication, country or origin (not necessarily country of publication) and the language of the document. After a description of the scope of the interview, classification results and the classification by topic are presented. The main body of the paper is the ordered list of publications with abstract, classification and comments.
