In recent years, light-weight cryptography has received a lot of attention. Many primitives suitable for resource-restricted hardware platforms have been proposed. In this paper, we present a cryptanalysis of the new stream cipher A2U2 presented at IEEE RFID 2011 [9] that has a key length of 56 bit. We start by disproving and then repairing an extremely efficient attack presented by Chai et al. [8], showing that A2U2 can be broken in less than a second in the chosen-plaintext case. We then turn our attention to the more challenging known-plaintext case and propose a number of attacks. A guess-and-determine approach combined with algebraic cryptanalysis yields an attack that requires about 249 internal guesses. We also show how to determine the 5-bit counter key and how to reconstruct the 56-bit key in about 238 steps if the attacker can freely choose the IV. Furthermore, we investigate the possibility of exploiting the knowledge of a “noisy keystream” by solving a Max-PoSSo problem. We conclude that the cipher needs to be repaired and point out a number of simple measures that would prevent the above attacks.
Digital libraries are providing an increasing amount of data, which is normally structured in a classical way by documents and described by metadata as keywords. The data, even in scientific systems such as digital libraries and virtual research environments, will contain a great amount of noise or information unnecessary for our personal interests. Although there has been a lot of progress in the field of information retrieval, search techniques and other content finding methods, there is still much to be done in the field of information retrieval based on user behavior. This paper presents an approach deployed in the Humboldt Digital Library (HDL) to facilitate the retrieval of relevant information to the users of the system, making recommendations of paragraphs based on their profile and the behavior of other users who share similar profiles. The Humboldt digital library represents an innovative system of open access to the legacy of Alexander von Humboldt in a digital form on the Internet (www.avhumboldt.net). It contributes to the key question, how to present interconnected data in a proper form using information technologies.
Mit gleichem kommunalem Mehrzweck-Fahrzeug (Abb. 1) wurden mehrere Fahrzyklen mit konventionellem Dieselantrieb und mit parallelem diesel-elektrischem Hybridantrieb simuliert. Aus den Ergebnissen der realen Fahrzyklen mit konventionellem Dieselmotorantrieb ließen sich die Kraftstoffeinsparpotenziale mit dem Hybridmotor und den verschiedenen Maßnahmen wie Start-Stopp, Rekuperation und Boost ermitteln. Selbst bei diesem Kommunalfahrzeug lassen sich Kraftstoffeinsparungen bis über 20 % nachweisen, obwohl die Fahrzyklen für Hybridanwendungen nicht besonders attraktiv sind. Deutlich höhere Potenziale liegen beispielsweise bei Gabelstaplern und Baumaschinen vor.
Schulgebäude im Liegenschaftsbestand vieler Kommunen treten in den vergangenen Jahren immer stärker ins Interesse der Öffentlichkeit. Viele der Gebäude stammen aus den 70-er oder 80-er Jahren und stehen im Rahmen der Bestandserhaltung für Modernisierungsmaßnahmen an. Insbesondere die hohen Betriebskosten für die Heizung hatten bisher Maßnahmen für den winterlichen Wärmeschutz in den Vordergrund gestellt. Die verstärkt auftretenden sommerlichen Extremtemperaturen an Unterrichtstagen der vergangenen Jahre zeigen zudem einen Handlungsbedarf im Bereich des sommerlichen Wärmeschutzes auf. Für die Aufgaben des Gebäudemanagements und zur Umsetzung eines energieeffizienten Gebäudebetriebs zeigen sich immer stärker die Vorteile einer vielseitig einsetzbaren Gebäudeautomation, die über zentrale Stellen des FM (z.B. Technisches Rathaus) zugänglich ist.
Existing approaches solving multi-vehicle pickup and delivery problems with soft time windows typically use common benchmark sets to verify their performance. However, there is a gap from these benchmark sets to real world problems with respect to instance size and problem complexity. In this paper we show that a combination of existing approaches together with improved heuristics is able to deal with the instance sizes and complexity of real world problems. The cost savings potential of the heuristics is compared to human dispatching plans generated from the data of a European carrier.
This paper describes the magmaOffenburg 3D simulation team trying to qualify for RoboCup 2011. While last year’s TDP focused on the tool set created for 3D simulation in this year we describe the further improvement in this tools as well as some new features we implemented focusing on heterogeneous robot models which seem to be used in RoboCup 2012.
An additional tool was written to simply generate situation-dependent strategies. Furthermore some tools, described last year, are now integrated in one single GUI to easy things up.
In previous work we [1] and other authors (e.g. [2]) have shown that agent-based systems are successful in optimizing delivery plans of single logistics companies and are meanwhile successfully productive in industry. In this paper we show that agent-based systems are particularly useful to also optimize transport across logistics companies. In intercompany optimization, privacy is of major importance between the otherwise competing companies. Some data has to be treated strictly private like the cost model or the constraint model. Other data like order information has to be shared. However, typically the amount of orders released to other companies has also to be limited. We show that our agent-based approach can be easily fine tuned to trade off privacy against the benefit of cooperation.
Introduction: Cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) with biventricular (BV) pacing is an established therapy for heart failure (HF) patients with ventricular desynchronization and reduced left ventricular (LV) ejection fraction. The aim of this study was to evaluate electrical ventricular desynchronization with transthoracic and transesophageal signal averaging electrocardiography in HF, to better select patients for CRT.
Methods: 13 HF patients (age 68 ± 10 years; 2 females, 11 males) with New York Heart Association (NYHA) class 2.8 ± 0.5, 28.6 ± 12.6 % LV ejection fraction and 155 ± 24 ms QRS duration (QRSD) were analysed with transthoracic and transesophageal electrocardiogram recording and novel National Intruments LabView 2009 signal averaging software. Esophageal TO Osypka catheter was perorally applied to the esophagus and placed in the position of maximum LV de-flection. The 0.05-Hz high-pass filtered surface electrocardiogram and the 10-Hz high-pass filtered bipolar transesophageal electrocardiogram were recorded with Bard EP-System and 1000-Hz sampling rate.
Results: Transesophageal LV electrogram recording was possible in all HF patients (n=13). Transesophageal interventricular conduction delay (IVCD) was 51 ± 19 ms and measured between the earliest onset of QRS in the 12-channel surface electrocardiogram and the onset of the LV deflection in the transesophageal electrocardiogram. Transesophageal intra-left ventricular delay (LVCD) was 90 ± 16 ms and measured between the onset and offset of the LV deflection in the transesophageal electrocardiogram. QRSD to transesophageal IVCD ratio was 3.43 ± 1.31 ms, QRSD to transesophageal LVCD ratio was 1.75 ± 0.28 ms and QRSD was evaluated between onset and offset of QRS signal in the 12-channel surface electrocardiogram.
Conclusion: Determination of IVCD, LVCD, QRSD-to-IVCD-ratio and QRSD-to-LVCD-ratio by transesophageal LV electrogram recording with LabView 2009 signal averaging technique may be useful parameters of ventricular desynchronisation to improve patient selection for CRT.
