This chapter describes the applicability of quantum cryptography beyond key exchange. The section
is devided into two parts: one describing applications of quantum cryptography different from key exchange
and the other considering countermeasures to additional threats like coercibility or traffic analysis.
Every section ends with a short summary or an appraisal in boldface and in the conclusions all
topics of this section are briefly outlined and in an outlook we give a personal statement about the
relevance of quantum cryptographic pro tocols and promising future directions of research. 相似文献

A promising application of future quantum computers is the simulation of physical systems of
a quantum nature. It has been estimated that a quantum computer operating with as few as 50–100
logical qubits would be capable of obtaining simulation results that are inaccessible to classical computers.
This chapter explains the basic principles of simulation on a quantum computer and reviews some applications. 相似文献

Quantum algorithms are a field of growing interest within the theoretical computer science as
well as the physics community. Surprisingly, although the number of researchers working on the subject
is ever-increasing, the number of quantum algorithms found so far is quite small. In fact, the task of
designing new quantum algorithms has been proven to be extremely difficult. In this paper we give an overview
of the known quantum algorithms and briefly describe the underlying ideas. Roughly, the algorithms presented
are divided into hidden subgroup type algorithms and in amplitude amplification type algorithms. While
the former deal with problems of group-theoretical nature and have the promise to yield strong separations
of classical and quantum algorithms, the latter have been proved to be a prolific source of algorithms
in which a polynomial speed-up as compared to classical algorithms can be achieved. We also discuss
quantum algorithms which do not fall under these two categories and give a survey of techniques of
general interest in quantum computing such as adiabatic computing, lower bounds for quantum algorithms,
and quantum interactive proofs. 相似文献

Progress in controlling quantum systems is the major pre-requisite
for the realization of quantum computing, yet the results of quantum computing research can also be useful
in solving quantum control problems that are not related to computational problems. We arguethat quantum
computing provides clear concepts and simple models for discussing quantum theoretical problems. In this
article we describe examples from completely different fields where models of quantum computing and quantum
communication shed light on quantum theory.
First we address quantum limits of classical low power computation and argue that the terms of quantum
information theory allows us to discuss device-independent bounds. We
argue that a classical bit behaves to some extent like a quantum bit in the time period where
it switches its logical value. This implies that a readout during the switching process generates
entropy. A related problem is the distribution of timing information like clock signals in low power
devices. For low signal energy, the situation is close to phase-covariant cloning problems in quantum information
theory. 相似文献

Distributed top-k query processing is increasingly becoming an essential functionality in a large
number of emerging application classes. This paper addresses the efficient algebraic optimization of
top-k queries in wide-area distributed data repositories where the index lists for the attribute values
(or text terms) of a query are distributed across a number of data peers and the computational
costs include network latency, bandwidth consumption, and local peer work. We use a dynamic programming
approach to find the optimal execution plan using compact data synopses for selectivity estimation that
is the basis for our cost model. The optimized query is executed in a hierarchical way involving
a small and fixed number of communication phases. We have performed experiments on real web data
that show the benefits of distributed top-k query optimization both in network resource consumption
and query response time. 相似文献

This paper deals with automating the drawing of subway maps. There are two features of schematic
subway maps that make them different from drawings of other networks such as flow charts or organigrams.
First, most schematic subway maps use not only horizontal and vertical lines, but also diagonals. This
gives more flexibility in the layout process, but it also makes the problem provably hard. Second, a subway
map represents a network whose components have geographic locations that are roughly known to the users
of such a map. This knowledge must be respected during the search for a clear layout of the network.
For the sake of visual clarity the underlying geography may be distorted, but it must not be given up, otherwise
map users will be hopelessly confused.
In this paper we first give a rather generally accepted list of rules that should be adhered
to by a good subway map. Next we survey three recent methods for drawing subway maps, analyze their
performance with respect to the above rules, and compare the resulting maps among each other and to official
subway maps drawn by graphic designers. We then focus on one of the methods, which is based on mixed-integer
linear programming, a widely-used global optimization technique. This method guarantees to find a drawing
that fulfills a subset of the above-mentioned rules (if such a drawing exists) and optimizes a weighted
sum of costs that correspond to the remaining rules. The method can draw even large subway networks such
as the London Underground in an aesthetically pleasing manner, similar to maps made by professional graphic
designers. If station labels are included in the optimization process, so far only medium-size networks
can be drawn. Finally we give evidence why drawing good subway maps is difficult (even without labels). 相似文献

Quantum information theory holds the promise of revolutionizing technologies other than computing
and communications. In this article we show how quantum entanglement can be harnessed to beat the Rayleigh
diffraction limit of conventional optical lithography, and to permit nano-devices to be fabricated at a scale
arbitrarily shorter than the wavelength used. Given the relative ease of performing optical lithography
compared with other schemes, and the relative costs associated in migrating the lithography industry to
each new fabrication technology, exploiting quantum entanglement to extend the useful life of optical lithography
could be economically attractive. 相似文献

Over the recent years, very little effort has been made to give XPath a proper algebraic treatment.
One laudable exception is the Natix Algebra (NAL) which defines the translation of XPath queries into algebraic
expressions in a concise way, thereby enabling algebraic optimizations. However, NAL does not capture
various promising core XML query evaluation algorithms like, for example, the Holistic Twig Join. By integrating
a logical structural join operator, we enable NAL to be compiled into a physical algebra containing
exactly those missing physical operators. We will provide several important query unnesting rules and demonstrate
the effectivity of our approach by an implementation in the XML Transaction Coordinator (XTC) – our
prototype of a native XML database system. 相似文献

Zusammenfassung AEG-Telefunken entwickelte seit 1957 Rechner. Neben den Prozessrechnern spielten die Gro?rechner
TR 4 und TR 440 eine wichtige Rolle. Von 1969 bis 1976 wurden 46 TR 440 installiert, bei einem Gesamtumsatz
von 730 Mio. DM (370 Mio. Euro) [2]. In der Produktpolitik spielten die Rechner keine zentrale Rolle,
obwohl eine ausgezeichnete technologische Ausgangsposition bestanden hatte und die Telefunkenrechner sp?ter
nachdrückliche technologiepolitische Unterstützung erhielten. Die Entwicklung des Systems TR
440 hatte mit wesentlichen konzeptionellen und technologischen Schwierigkeiten zu k?mpfen, wozu der
Mangel an qualifizierten Zulieferern und erfahrenen Mitabeitern kam. Trotzdem gelang es, bis 1970 den bislang
schnellsten in Europa entwickelten Rechner [6] fertig zu stellen und Systemsoftware zu entwickeln [9],
die den Produkten der Mitbewerber um Jahre voraus war. Von Anfang an hatte das Unternehmen nach geeigneten
Kooperationspartnern gesucht. Mit dem Verkauf des Gro?rechnergesch?ftes an Siemens gingen die
bereits laufenden Planungen für einen TR 440-Nachfolger zu Ende.
AEG-Telefunken developed computers since 1957. Besides process control computers, the large scale computers, TR 4 and TR 440, played an important role. 46 TR 440 computers were installed from 1969 to 1976, summing up to a sales volume of 730 Mio. DM (370 Mio. Euro) [2]. AEG-Telefunken did not consider computers as a strategic part of its product policy, though the company had had an excellent technological position for this business and the Telefunken computers got vigorous political support. The development of the TR 440 system had to defeat essential conceptual and technological difficulties, besides lack of qualified suppliers and experienced personnel. Nevertheless, the company could, by 1970, develop the fastest European computer so far [6], with system software ahead of competitors by years [9]. From the beginning, the company had been looking for business partners. With the sale of the large scale computer business to Siemens, all activities on a TR 440 successor were stopped. AEG-Telefunken computer business strategy is also subject of a paper to appear in the IEEE Annals of the History of Computing.相似文献

Zusammenfassung Der Telefunkenrechner TR 440 war bei seiner Fertigstellung 1970 die schnellste bisher in Europa entwickelte
und produzierte Maschine. 46 Maschinen wurden in Wissenschaftseinrichtungen, bei Beh?rden und in der
Industrie installiert. Der TR 440 folgte dem 1962 fertig gestellten TR 4, der auf demselben Markt durch
Leistungsf?higkeit und sein innovatives Compilerkonzept eine wichtige Stellung erobert hatte. Der
TR 440 wurde als Maschine für den Teilnehmerbetrieb entwickelt. Die Maschine war einer der ersten
gro?en Rechner mit integrierten Schaltungen. Sie verfügte über Seitenadressierung und ein
ausgefeiltes System von privilegierten Funktionen. Die Leistung des Prozessors betrug knapp 1 Mips, die
Hauptspeicherkapazit?t 1.5 MB. Ausgangspunkt, Struktur und Technologie werden aus heutiger Sicht
beschrieben. Ein Nachfolgeprodukt, TR 550, wurde konzipiert, aber nicht mehr entwickelt. Die Wertsch?tzung
des TR 440 bei den Nutzern ging wesentlich auf die Systemsoftware zurück, die Gegenstand eines anderen
Beitrages ist [6].
The Telefunken TR 440 Computer was, at its deployment in 1970, the fastest machine developed and manufactured so far in Europe. 46 of them were installed in scientific institutions, agencies, and industry. The TR 440 was the successor of the TR 4 of 1962, which on the same market had gained an important position by its performance and its innovative compiler concept. TR 440 was designed for timesharing operation. The machine was one of the first large scale computers to use integrated circuits. It had page addressing and a refined system of privileged functions. The instruction rate approached 1 Mips, the main memory had a capacity of 1.5 MB. Point of departure, structure and technology are described from the point of view of today. A follow-on product, TR 550, was conceived but not developed. The appreciation TR 440 gained among its users was primarily due to its system software, which is described in a further paper [6]. TR 440 structure and technology is also subject of a paper submitted to the IEEE Annals of the History of Computing.相似文献

Model checking techniques are recognized to provide reliable and copious results. Instead of examining
a few cases only – as it is done in testing – model checking includes the whole state space
in mathematical proofs of correctness. Yet, this completeness is seen as a drawback as the state explosion
problem is hard to handle. In our industrial case study, we apply automated model checking techniques to
an innovative elevator system, the TWIN by ThyssenKrupp. By means of abstraction and nondeterminism, we
cope with runtime behaviour and achieve to efficiently prove our specification’s validity. The elevator’s
safety requirements are exhaustively expressed in temporal logic along with real-world and algorithmic prerequisites,
consistency properties, and fairness constraints. Beyond verifying system safety for an actual installation,
our case study demonstrates the rewarding applicability of model checking at an industrial scale.

Design, implementation, and re-engineering of operating systems are still an ambitious undertaking.
Despite, or even because, of the long history of theory and practice in this field, adapting existing systems
to environments of different conditions and requirements as originally specified or assumed, in terms of
functional and/or non-functional respects, is anything but simple. Especially this is true for the embedded
systems domain which, on the one hand, calls for highly specialized and application-aware system abstractions
and, on the other hand, cares a great deal for easily reusable implementations of these abstractions.
The latter aspect becomes more and more important as embedded systems technology is faced with an innovation
cycle decreasing in length. Software for embedded systems needs to be designed for variability, and this
is in particular true for the operating systems of this domain. The paper discusses dimensions of variability
that need to be considered in the development of embedded operating systems and presents approaches that
aid construction and maintenance of evolutionary operating systems.

Medical software is regarded as both a success and a risk factor for quality and efficiency
of medical care. First, reasons are given in what respects the medical industry is special: it is highly
complex and variable, exposed to risks of privacy/confidentiality but also of denied access to authorized
personnel, and medical users are a highly qualified and demanding population. Then some software technology
and engineering approaches are presented that partially master these challenges. They include various divide
and conquer strategies, process and change management approaches and quality assurance approaches. Benchmark
institutions and comprehensive solutions are also presented. Finally, some challenges are presented that
call for approaches other than technical to achieve user “buy in”, handle the outer limits of
complexity, variability and change. Here, methods from psychology, economics and game theory complement
domain knowledge and exploratory experimentation with new technologies.
Zusammenfassung Medizinische Software wird sowohl als Erfolgs- als auch als Risikofaktor für die Qualit?t und Effizienz medizinischer Versorgung gesehen. In diesem Artikel werden zun?chst Gründe aufgeführt, inwiefern der medizinische Sektor sich von anderen abhebt: Er ist hoch komplex und variantenreich und den Risiken stark ausgesetzt, die sich aus Vertraulichkeit und Schutzbedürftigkeit der Daten einerseits und andereseits aus deren Nicht-Verfügbarkeit für autorisiertes Personal ergeben. Auch sind medizinische Nutzer hoch und vielf?ltig qualifiziert und entsprechend anspruchsvoll. Es werden dann Verfahren aus Software-Technologie und -Engineering vorgestellt, welche diese Herausforderungen z.T. meistern. Darunter befinden sich „Teile-und-Herrsche“-artige Partitionierungsverfahren, Prozess- und ?nderungsmanagement- sowie Qualit?tssicherungsmethoden. Einige richtungweisend erfolgreiche Institutionen und L?sungen werden erl?utert. Schlie?lich wird auf Herausforderungen hingewiesen, bei denen andere als technische Zug?nge naheliegen, damit anspruchsvolle Nutzer „einsteigen“ und grenzwertig schwierige Anforderungen an Komplexit?t, Variabilit?t und ?nderungsintensit?t handhabbar werden. Dabei erg?nzen Methoden aus Psychologie, Wirtschaftswissenschaften und Spieltheorie ein vertieftes Wissen über den medizinischen Gegenstandsbereich und das Experimentieren mit neuen Technologien.

The reverse k-nearest neighbor (RkNN) problem, i.e. finding all objects in a data set the k-nearest
neighbors of which include a specified query object, has received increasing attention recently. Many
industrial and scientific applications call for solutions of the RkNN problem in arbitrary metric spaces
where the data objects are not Euclidean and only a metric distance function is given for specifying
object similarity. Usually, these applications need a solution for the generalized problem where the
value of k is not known in advance and may change from query to query. In addition, many applications
require a fast approximate answer of RkNN-queries. For these scenarios, it is important to generate
a fast answer with high recall. In this paper, we propose the first approach for efficient approximative
RkNN search in arbitrary metric spaces where the value of k is specified at query time. Our approach
uses the advantages of existing metric index structures but proposes to use an approximation of the
nearest-neighbor-distances in order to prune the search space. We show that our method scales significantly
better than existing non-approximative approaches while producing an approximation of the true query
result with a high recall. 相似文献

Money is a very important and precious medium of exchange which has been used for nearly 2500 years. This medium of exchange consisted of metal coins until the 17th century, and later on coins were used together with paper notes. Money, as well as being the most important medium of exchange, is the symbol of a state's economic and commercial vision, wealth, culture, national values, political viewpoint and international influence. Money is both an information source and a medium for the recording of information. In this paper the main characteristics of paper money and its usefulness as an information source will be studied along with a comparative analysis of the organization and presentation of the banknote collection of the Turkish National Library and the banknote collections of the German, American, British and French national libraries. 相似文献

ABSTRACTThe Deep Dive into KBART preconference workshop provided a comprehensive overview of the National Information Standards Organization Knowledge Bases and Related Tools (KBART) Phase II Recommended Practice (http://www.niso.org/publications/rp/rp-9–2014/). The workshop was divided into four sections. The first provided an overview of the background, purpose, and value of KBART to all members of the information supply chain. The next section focused on the basic guidelines for effective exchange of metadata with knowledgebases, including method of exchange, data format, file naming conventions, and frequency of exchange. The remaining two sections of the workshop addressed the correct use of KBART data fields, first in relation to serials and then to monographs. Through classroom instruction, interactive quizzes, and hands-on exercises, the workshop provided in-depth coverage of all KBART data elements, with special focus on many of the most frequently asked questions about the recommended practice. 相似文献

Background: The Australian National Stroke Foundation appointed a search specialist to find the best available evidence for the second edition of its Clinical Guidelines for Acute Stroke Management. Objective: To identify the relative effectiveness of differing evidence sources for the guideline update. Methods: We searched and reviewed references from five valid evidence sources for clinical and economic questions: (i) electronic databases; (ii) reference lists of relevant systematic reviews, guidelines, and/or primary studies; (iii) table of contents of a number of key journals for the last 6 months; (iv) internet/grey literature; and (v) experts. Reference sources were recorded, quantified, and analysed. Results: In the clinical portion of the guidelines document, there was a greater use of previous knowledge and sources other than electronic databases for evidence, while there was a greater use of electronic databases for the economic section. Conclusions: The results confirmed that searchers need to be aware of the context and range of sources for evidence searches. For best available evidence, searchers cannot rely solely on electronic databases and need to encompass many different media and sources. 相似文献
