Creating Trust by Abolishing Hierarchies

Mathias Josef Payer, Edouard Bugnion, Evangelos Marios Kogias, Adrien Ghosn, Charly Nicolas Lucien Castes, Neelu Shivprakash Kalani, Yuchen Qian

Software is going through a trust crisis. Privileged code is no longer trusted and processes insufficiently protect user code from unverified libraries. While usually treated separately, confidential computing and program compartmentalization are both symp ...

Distributed Inference Over Networks Under Subspace Constraints

Ali H. Sayed, Stefan Vlaski, Roula Nassif

This paper considers optimization problems over networks where agents have individual objectives to meet, or individual parameter vectors to estimate, subject to subspace constraints that enforce the objectives across the network to lie in a low-dimensiona ...

The Advent of the Sharing Culture and its Effect on Product Pricing

Thomas Alois Weber, Maryam Razeghian Jahromi

Empirical observations suggest that consumers' propensity towards sharing varies with culture and the individuals' socio-demographic characteristics. In an economy with overlapping generations of heterogeneous consumers, we study optimal dynamic selling by ...

Neoclassical equilibria as starting point for global gyrokinetic microturbulence simulations

Laurent Villard, Jonathan Graves, Stephan Brunner, Trach-Minh Tran, Alberto Bottino, Sébastien Jolliet, Thibaut Vernay, Ben McMillan

The implementation of linearized operators describing inter- and like-species collisions in the global gyrokinetic particle-in-cell code ORB5 [ S. Jolliet, Comput. Phys. Commun. 177, 409 (2007) ] is presented. A neoclassical axisymmetric equilibrium with s ...
