Therapeutic theatre and spontaneity: Goethe and Moreno
Moreno noted a similarity between a late 18th Century play by the great German scholar and artist, Goethe, and some elements of psychodrama, which can be substantiated; however, Goethe was not, as Moreno suggested, an early promoter of spontaneity. The similarities and contrasts between these two men are intriguing
Parallel Implementations of Cellular Automata for Traffic Models
The Biham-Middleton-Levine (BML) traffic model is a simple two-dimensional,
discrete Cellular Automaton (CA) that has been used to study self-organization
and phase transitions arising in traffic flows. From the computational point of
view, the BML model exhibits the usual features of discrete CA, where the state
of the automaton are updated according to simple rules that depend on the state
of each cell and its neighbors. In this paper we study the impact of various
optimizations for speeding up CA computations by using the BML model as a case
study. In particular, we describe and analyze the impact of several parallel
implementations that rely on CPU features, such as multiple cores or SIMD
instructions, and on GPUs. Experimental evaluation provides quantitative
measures of the payoff of each technique in terms of speedup with respect to a
plain serial implementation. Our findings show that the performance gap between
CPU and GPU implementations of the BML traffic model can be reduced by clever
exploitation of all CPU features
Covert Ephemeral Communication in Named Data Networking
In the last decade, there has been a growing realization that the current
Internet Protocol is reaching the limits of its senescence. This has prompted
several research efforts that aim to design potential next-generation Internet
architectures. Named Data Networking (NDN), an instantiation of the
content-centric approach to networking, is one such effort. In contrast with
IP, NDN routers maintain a significant amount of user-driven state. In this
paper we investigate how to use this state for covert ephemeral communication
(CEC). CEC allows two or more parties to covertly exchange ephemeral messages,
i.e., messages that become unavailable after a certain amount of time. Our
techniques rely only on network-layer, rather than application-layer, services.
This makes our protocols robust, and communication difficult to uncover. We
show that users can build high-bandwidth CECs exploiting features unique to
NDN: in-network caches, routers' forwarding state and name matching rules. We
assess feasibility and performance of proposed cover channels using a local
setup and the official NDN testbed

Conditions for Generic Initial Ideals to be Almost Reverse Lexicographic
Let be a homogeneous Artinian ideal in a polynomial ring
over a field of characteristic 0. We study an equivalent
condition for the generic initial ideal \gin(I) with respect to reverse
lexicographic order to be almost reverse lexicographic. As a result, we show
that Moreno-Socias conjecture implies Fr\"{o}berg conjecture. And for the case
\Codim I \le 3, we show that has the strong Lefschetz property if and
only if \gin(I) is almost reverse lexicographic. Finally for a monomial
complete intersection Artinian ideal , we prove
that \gin(I) is almost reverse lexicographic if for each . Using this, we give a positive partial answer to
Moreno-Socias conjecture, and to Fr\"{o}berg conjecture.Comment: 10 page
