Layered cellular automata for pseudorandom number generation
The proposed Layered Cellular Automata (L-LCA), which comprises of a main CA with L additional layers of memory registers, has simple local interconnections and high operating speed. The time-varying L-LCA transformation at each clock can be reduced to a single transformation in the set formed by the transformation matrix of a maximum length Cellular Automata (CA), and the entire transformation sequence for a single period can be obtained. The analysis for the period characteristics of state sequences is simplified by analyzing representative transformation sequences determined by the phase difference between the initial states for each layer. The L-LCA model can be extended by adding more layers of memory or through the use of a larger main CA based on widely available maximum length CA. Several L-LCA (L=1,2,3,4) with 10- to 48-bit main CA are subjected to the DIEHARD test suite and better results are obtained over other CA designs reported in the literature. The experiments are repeated using the well-known nonlinear functions and in place of the linear function used in the L-LCA. Linear complexity is significantly increased when or is used

Pseudorandom number generation with self programmable cellular automata
In this paper, we propose a new class of cellular automata – self programming cellular automata (SPCA) with specific application to pseudorandom number generation. By changing a cell's state transition rules in relation to factors such as its neighboring cell's states, behavioral complexity can be increased and utilized. Interplay between the state transition neighborhood and rule selection neighborhood leads to a new composite neighborhood and state transition rule that is the linear combination of two different mappings with different temporal dependencies. It is proved that when the transitional matrices for both the state transition and rule selection neighborhood are non-singular, SPCA will not exhibit non-group behavior. Good performance can be obtained using simple neighborhoods with certain CA length, transition rules etc. Certain configurations of SPCA pass all DIEHARD and ENT tests with an implementation cost lower than current reported work. Output sampling methods are also suggested to improve output efficiency by sampling the outputs of the new rule selection neighborhoods

A dynamic petri net model for iterative and interactive distributed multimedia presentation
Object Composition Petri Nets (OCPN), Priority Petri Nets (P-Net), Dynamic OCPN (DOCPN) and Enhanced P-Nets (EP-Net) have extended the original Petri Net to achieve the modeling of media synchronization and asynchronous user interactions during multimedia playback. Dynamic Petri Net (DPN) has been conceptualized to tackle existing problems in these two areas of modeling distributed multimedia systems. DPN features dynamic modeling elements which allows iteration and hence is able to reduce graph sizes of synchronous playback models while allowing greater details to be shown. DPN also introduces asynchronous event handling techniques that are powerful and effective. DPN was used in the design and modeling of a multimedia orchestration tool which is a typical representation of an application that works in a distributed multimedia system

Evolving cellular automata to generate nonlinear sequences with desirable properties
This paper presents a new chromosomal representation and associated genetic operators for the evolution of highly nonlinear cellular automata that generate pseudorandom number sequences with desirable properties ensured. This chromosomal representation reduces the computational complexity of genetic operators to evolve valid solutions while facilitating fitness evaluation based on the DIEHARD statistical tests

A modularized electronic payment system for agent-based e-commerce
With the explosive growth of the Internet, electronic-commerce (e-commerce) is an increasingly important segment of commercial activities on the web. The Secure Agent Fabrication, Evolution & Roaming (SAFER) architecture was proposed to further facilitate e-commerce using agent technology. In this paper, the electronic payment aspect of SAFER will be explored. The Secure Electronic Transaction (SET) protocol and E-Cash were selected as the bases for the electronic payment system implementation. The various modules of the payment system and how they interface with each other are shown. An extensible implementation done using JavaTM will also be elaborated. This application incorporates agent roaming functionality and the ability to conduct e-commerce transactions and carry out intelligent e-payment procedures

Permutation and sampling with maximum length CA for pseudorandom number generation
In this paper, we study the effect of dynamic permutation and sampling on the randomness quality of sequences generated by cellular automata (CA). Dynamic permutation and sampling have not been explored in previous CA work and a suitable implementation is shown using a two CA model. Three different schemes that incorporate these two operations are suggested - Weighted Permutation Vector Sampling with Controlled Multiplexing, Weighted Permutation Vector Sampling with Irregular Decimation and Permutation Programmed CA Sampling. The experiment results show that the resulting sequences have varying degrees of improvement in DIEHARD results and linear complexity compared to the CA
