Potential of quantum computing for drug discovery

Yudong Cao, Jonathan Romero, Alán Aspuru‐Guzik • IBM Journal of Research and Development (2018)

Quantum computing has rapidly advanced in recent years due to substantial development in both hardware and algorithms. These advances are carrying quantum computers closer to their impending commercial utility. Drug discovery is a promising...

A Survey of Quantum Computing for Finance

Dylan Herman, Cody Googin, Xiaoyuan Liu, Alexey Galda et al. • RePEc: Research Papers in Economics (2022)

Quantum computers are expected to surpass the computational capabilities of classical computers during this decade and have transformative impact on numerous industry sectors, particularly finance. In fact, finance is estimated to be the fi...

Contracts in distributed systems

Massimo Bartoletti, Emilio Tuosto, Roberto Zunino • Electronic Proceedings in Theoretical Computer Science (2011)

We present a parametric calculus for contract-based computing in distributed systems. By abstracting from the actual contract language, our calculus generalises both the contracts-as-processes and contracts-as-formulae paradigms. The calcul...

Epidemic information dissemination in distributed systems

Patrick Th. Eugster, Rachid Guerraoui, Anne-Marie Kermarrec, Laurent Massoulié • Computer (2004)

Easy to deploy, robust, and highly resilient to failures, epidemic algorithms are a potentially effective mechanism for propagating information in large peer-to-peer systems deployed on Internet or ad hoc networks. It is possible to adjust ...

The Verification of a Distributed System

Caitie McCaffrey • Queue (2015)

Leslie Lamport, known for his seminal work in distributed systems, famously said, "A distributed system is one in which the failure of a computer you didn’t even know existed can render your own computer unusable." Given this bleak outlook ...

On the controllability of distributed systems

J. L. Lions • Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences (1997)

To "control" a system is to make it behave (hopefully) according to our "wishes," in a way compatible with safety and ethics, at the least possible cost. The systems considered here are distributed-i.e., governed (modeled) by partial differ...

A Behavioral SIQR-B Model for Cholera Transmission: Impact of Adaptive Risk Perception on Disease Dynamics

Pedro Pablo Cárdenas Alzate, Jaime Alberto Echeverri Franco, Jacobo Echeverri Hoyos • Epidemiologia (2026)

Background/Objectives: Cholera remains a major public health problem, particularly in regions with limited access to safe drinking water and sanitation. Traditional compartmental models may underrepresent adaptive human behavioral responses...

A framework for event composition in distributed systems

Peter R. Pietzuch, Brian Ninham Shand, Jean Bacon • Lecture notes in computer science (2003)

1 Introduction Event-based communication has become a new paradigm for building large-scaledistributed systems. It has the advantages of loosely coupling communication partners, being extremely scalable, and providing a simple application p...

Monitoring distributed systems

Masoud Mansouri-Samani, Morris S. Sloman • IEEE Network (1993)

It is suggested that a functional model of monitoring in terms of the generation, processing, dissemination, and presentation of information can help determine the facilities needed to design and construct distributed systems. Implementatio...

Ratings in Distributed Systems: A Bayesian Approach

Lik Mui, Mojdeh Mohtashemi, Cheewee Ang, Peter Szolovits et al. • DSpace@MIT (Massachusetts Institute of Technology) (2002)

For distributed systems at large and e-commerce systems in particular, ratings play an increasingly important role. Ratings confer reputation measures about sources. This paper reports our formalization of the rating process. This paper arg...

Cybersecurity in Health Care

Karsten Weber, Nadine Kleine • The International library of ethics, law and technology (2020)

Abstract Ethical questions have always been crucial in health care; the rapid dissemination of ICT makes some of those questions even more pressing and also raises new ones. One of these new questions is cybersecurity in relation to ethics ...
