- Data Analysis and Reduction Using Stationary Solutions of the NLS Equation
- This paper demonstrates that the stationary solutions of the Nonlinear Schrodinger Equation NLS can be used as an orthonormal basis for the square integrable functions with periodic boundary conditions. This allows one to use these solutions in much the same way as regular Fourier modes or other basis sets. For...

- Preventing Internet Denial-of-Service With Capabilities
- This paper proposes a new approach to preventing and constraining Denial-of-Service DoS attacks. Instead of being able to send anything to anyone at any time, in one's architecture, nodes must first obtain "Permission to send" from the destination; a receiver provides tokens, or capabilities, to those senders whose traffic it...
