Innovation and Brands: The Managers’ Perspective in a Multiple Case Study in a Brazilian Region by Rogerio Bevilacqua, Verica Freitas, Veronica Angélica Freitas de Paula

“…In this sense, it is important to highlight that, in the studied cases, incremental innovation is dominant; the stage at which successful innovations improve consumer brand awareness, attitude, and usage prevails; and the companies studied could be distributed in two of the innovation possibilities proposed by Brexendorf et al. (2015): follower brands and craft-designer led brands.…”

space by Елена Григорьева

“…Perhaps there is not a single philosopher, urbanist or designer who would not use it in their work. The materials of the current issue of our journal include a wide range of reflections on the essence and properties of space – from criticism of established ideas in practical architecture to reflections on the metrics of structured, meaning-forming space of the modern city. …”

Security evaluation for parameters of SIMON-like cipher based on neural network distinguisher by Zezhou HOU, Jiongjiong REN, Shaozhen CHEN

“…The neural distinguisher is a new tool widely used in crypto analysis of some ciphers.For SIMON-like block ciphers, there are multiple choices for their parameters, but the reasons for designer’s selection remain unexplained.Using neural distinguishers, the security of the parameters （a,b,c） of the SIMON-like with a block size of 32 bits was researched, and good choices of parameters were given.Firstly, using the idea of affine equivalence class proposed by Kölbl et al.in CRYPTO2015, these parameters can be divided into 509 classes.And 240 classes which satisfied gcd（a-b,2）=1 were mainly researched.Then a SAT/SMT model was built to help searching differential characteristics for each equivalent class.From these models, the optimal differential characteristics of SIMON-like was obtained.Using these input differences of optimal differential characteristics, the neural distinguishers were trained for the representative of each equivalence class, and the accuracy of the distinguishers was saved.It was found that 20 optimal parameters given by Kölbl et al.cannot make the neural distinguishers the lowest accuracy.On the contrary, there were 4 parameters, whose accuracy exceeds 80%.Furthermore, the 4 parameters were bad while facing neural distinguishers.Finally, comprehensively considering the choice of Kölbl et al.and the accuracy of different neural distinguishers, three good parameters, namely （6,11,1）,（1,8,3）, and（6,7,5） were given.…”

Area Optimisation for Field-Programmable Gate Arrays in SystemC Hardware Compilation by Johan Ditmar, Steve McKeever, Alex Wilson

“…This paper discusses a pair of synthesis algorithms that optimise a SystemC design to minimise area when targeting FPGAs. Each can significantly improve the synthesis of a high-level language construct, thus allowing a designer to concentrate more on an algorithm description and less on hardware-specific implementation details. …”
