We explore ways of allowing for the offloading of computationally rigorous tasks from devices with slow logical processors onto a network of anonymous peer-processors. Recent advances in secret sharing schemes, decentralized consensus mechanisms, and multiparty computation (MPC) protocols are combined to create a P2P MPC market. Unlike other computational "clouds", ours is able to generically compute any arithmetic circuit, providing a viable platform for processing on the semantic web. Finally, we show that such a system works in a hostile environment, that it scales well, and that it adapts very easily to any future advances in the complexity theoretic cryptography used. Specifically, we show that the feasibility of our system can only improve, and is historically guaranteed to do so.

Information before unblinding regarding the success of confirmatory clinical trials is highly uncertain. Estimates of expected future power which purport to use this information for purposes of sample size adjustment after given interim points need to reflect this uncertainty. Estimates of future power at later interim points need to track the evolution of the clinical trial. We employ sequential models to describe this evolution. We show that current techniques using point estimates of auxiliary parameters for estimating expected power: (i) fail to describe the range of likely power obtained after the anticipated data are observed, (ii) fail to adjust to different kinds of thresholds, and (iii) fail to adjust to the changing patient population. Our algorithms address each of these shortcomings. We show that the uncertainty arising from clinical trials is characterized by filtering later auxiliary parameters through their earlier counterparts and employing the resulting posterior distribution to estimate power. We devise MCMC-based algorithms to implement sample size adjustments after the first interim point. Bayesian models are designed to implement these adjustments in settings where both hard and soft thresholds for distinguishing the presence of treatment effects are present. Sequential MCMC-based algorithms are devised to implement accurate sample size adjustments for multiple interim points. We apply these suggested algorithms to a depression trial for purposes of illustration.

Distributed system is a collection of independent systems which can communicate with each other by transferring massages. There are some major issues in distributed systems but we focus in this paper on fault tolerance. It is the system’s ability to work in the condition when there occur any type of some fault in the system, like failure in communication, hardware or resources. It is a very important issue in distributed system, in this paper we present a survey of different types of fault tolerance techniques and their comparison.

My CV

This is a table I used in the paper W. Li, G. Wei, D. Ding, Y. Liu and F. E. Alsaadi, "A New Look at Boundedness of Error Covariance of Kalman Filtering," in IEEE Transactions on Systems, Man, and Cybernetics: Systems, vol. 48, no. 2, pp. 309-314, Feb. 2018. I would like to share some LaTex codes for the table which might be helpful to some readers.
