On Entropy Depletion & Related Links

Adnan Masood

I had to dig these up in the context of a conversation around the (in)security of currency regimes such as BitCoin where presumed ownership of currency is built solely upon asymmetric cryptography. You may find some of these links to be of interest as well. Textbook RSA is insecure    and other interesting observations... http://crypto.stanford.edu/~dabo/courses/cs255_winter00/RSA.pdf…

The Clairvoyant Load Balancing Algorithm for Highly Available Service Oriented Architectures

Adnan Masood

Abstract: Load balancing allows network devices to distribute workload across multiple processing resources including server clusters and storage devices. This distribution helps maximize throughput, achieve optimal resource utilization, minimize response time and help use hardware effectively in multiple data-center locations. As a meta-heuristic enhancement to Psychic Routing[1], researchers present early work in a novel algorithm…

Causality, Probability, and Time - A Temporo-Philosophical Primer to Causal Inference with Case Studies

Adnan Masood

Causality, Probability and Time by Dr. Samantha Kelinberg is a whirlwind yet original journey of the interdisciplinary study of probabilistic temporal logic and causal inference. Probabilistic causation is a fairly demanding area of study which studies the relationship between cause and effect using the tools of probability theory. Judea Pearl, in his seminal text "Causality:…
