Conference Proceeding
Luchian, H., Paechter, B., Radulescu, V., & Luchian, S. (1999)
Two evolutionary approaches to cross-clustering problems. In Proceedings of the 1999 Congress on Evolutionary Computation, (860-870). https://doi.org/10.1109/CEC.1999.782514
Cross-clustering asks for a Boolean matrix to
be brought to a quasi-canonical form. The problem has
many applications in image processing, circuit design,
archaeology, ecology...

Buchanan, W. J. (2014)
In cybersecurity, the weakest link is … you
A chain is only as strong as its weakest link. Computer security relies on a great number of links, hardware, software and something else altogether: you. The greatest threat ...
Will quantum computers be the end of public key encryption?
Journal Article
