It is not just about career advancement or getting recognition. Publication is a critical step in the scientific process. Your discoveries will foster innovation and help advance technology for public good. But that can only happen if your research can be read, understood, and built upon by your fellow researchers and engineers. This guide is designed to help you succeed as an author. In this guide, you will learn how to prepare, write, and submit your manuscript for peer review by an IEEE conference, journal, or magazine. We will show you how successful authors structure quality work to improve their chances of being accepted.

Read the guide at: https://mc.manuscriptcentral. com/societyimages/tgrs/author_guide_interactive%20English.pdf *Zero Days, Thousands of Nights: The Life and Times of Zero-Day Vulnerabilities and Their Exploits* Zero-day vulnerabilities — software vulnerabilities for which no patch or fix has been publicly released — and their exploits are useful in cyber operations — whether by criminals, militaries, or governments — as well as in defensive and academic settings. This 133 pages report provides findings from real-world zero-day vulnerability and exploit data that could augment conventional proxy examples and expert opinion, complement current efforts to create a framework for deciding whether to disclose or retain a cache of zero-day vulnerabilities and exploits, inform ongoing policy debates regarding stockpiling and vulnerability disclosure, and add extra context for those examining the implications and resulting liability of attacks and data breaches for U.S. consumers, companies, insurers, and for the civil justice system broadly. The authors provide insights about the zero-day vulnerability research and exploit development industry; give information on what proportion of zero-day vulnerabilities are alive (undisclosed), dead (known), or somewhere in between; and establish some baseline metrics regarding the average lifespan of zero-day vulnerabilities, the likelihood of another party discovering a vulnerability within a given time period, and the time and costs involved in developing an exploit for a zero-day vulnerability.

Hennessy, former president of Stanford University, and David A. Patterson, retired professor at the University of California, Berkeley, will speak to how computer architecture is “on the cusp of another Golden Age” during the International Symposium on Computer Architecture this month. Hennessy and Patterson were named as recipients last March of the 2017 Turing Award, often called the “Nobel Prize for Computing,” which carries a $1 million prize with financial support from Google. In an advance summary of their lecture, to be given at the ISCA 2018 in Los Angeles, the two scientists herald a new era for computer architecture that “will significantly improve cost, performance, energy, and security,” they say. Hennessy and Patterson won the Turing Award for their pioneering an approach to create faster, lower power, and reduced instruction set computer (RISC) microprocessors, which constitute 99% of the 16 billion microprocessors found in nearly all smartphones, tablets, and Internet of Things devices.

Are you a book lover?
by Padmanabha Vyasamoorthy 04 Jun '18

04 Jun '18

Book lovers won't like to miss this opportunity. I have seen books sold as second-hand, by weight, 'pick any at XX rupees' etc but only now in box-lots. Warning: Only for Hyderabadis!! ====== thehindu.com <http://www.thehindu.com/books/lock-the-box-bookchorcom-hyderabad-sale-2018/…> ‘Lock The Box’ presents the city with a bountiful buffet of books Divya Kala Bhavani 4-5 minutes ------------------------------ Books-by-weight *sales * <http://www.thehindu.com/tag/754-702-684/sales/?utm=bodytag>are commonplace in Hyderabad, but Guragon-based BookChor.com will be bringing something new to the table that will surely enchant bibliophiles. Lock The Box is coming to Hyderabad for the first time and the Facebook event page is already seeing plenty of excitement from the city; fit all the books you want and pay just for the box. The boxes - Odysseus: Use your wit like the legendary Greek to fit a minimum of 8 to 10 books priced at ₹999. - Perseus: Slay the modern Medusa with this box priced at ₹1,499. It can easily accommodate 15 to 17 books. - Hercules: The mightiest of the lot at ₹2,499 and can easily hold up to 28 to 30 books. The now two-year-old BookChor.com sells secondhand books online and have completed orders from all the states of the country with a current online readerbase of 300,000. “We have just started with offline events and apart from this, we also have an wholesale arm. Also, we have started collaborating with schools to convert their libraries into smart libraries by introducing technology and other relevant books,” comments co-founder Alok Sharma, who runs the organisation along with Bhavesh Sharma, Prateek Maheshwari and Vidyut Sharma. He is delighted with the universal response towards Lock The Box from the country, “We are overwhelmed with the response we are getting on social media, with requests from major cities. We have been getting positive comments and feedback for our event and this is mainly because readers are happy with the kind of offer they are getting for the books they are getting and they are finding the concept interesting and refreshing.” The project started out with a seed of a thought; in spite of having a dot-com name, why not start an offline event? “We wanted to do something interesting for readers and also ensure they do not feel burdened with the price of the books,” explains the 24 year-old former engineer, “So, in Lock The Box, books are not priced. It’s only three differently sized boxes which are priced, in which readers can accommodate as many items as possible so that no one discriminates books on the basis of price or weight.” To add to the fun value of such an endeavour, Alok and his team came up with prominent names for each box size: ‘Odysseus’, ‘Perseus’ and ‘Hercules’ for all the heavy-lifters at the sale. [image: A shot from a ‘Lock The Box’ priced-by-box sale | Photo Credit BookChor.com] A shot from a ‘Lock The Box’ priced-by-box sale | Photo Credit BookChor.com BookChor.com did a pilot event last November in Delhi to observe traction where they saw a good turnout, and then requests from all over the country to do it in their respective cities poured in, specifically from Pune, Bengaluru and Delhi. Following the success of these events, Alok and his team organised three events every month in the major cities before the year end. He avers, “At our events in Pune and Bengaluru we have seen daily visitors from around 5,000 to 10,000. Although 60% of the people attending were from the age group of 18 to 26, we saw a good turnout from the parents as well buying books for their kids, which came out to be 30% of the visitors,” adding, “It is really fortunate to see millennials turn up for the offline book event in this digital age. Readers are actually interested in the event and seeing them select over 28 to 30 books speaks volumes of the growing trend of readership in India.” Taking place at the vast space offered by Vasavi Kalyana Mandapam, the event promises to attract hoards of students too. And it’ll be interesting to see people fit as many books as they can, jenga-style, into one box. *‘Lock The Box’ will be happening at Vasavi Kalyana Mandapam from June 15 to 17; 9am onwards.* ============== Dr P Vyasamoorthy 040-27846631 / 09490804278 In New Gmail opening the attachment alone is possible leaving the message unread!
