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.

Throughout the ECE Lab section we have learnt many electronics concepts and applied almost all of them directly or indirectly in our final lab project. Additionally, having taken away a lot from this course, we aimed to make a project that would challenge us academically and intellectually; for our final lab assignment, we made an autonomous line-following robot, that would follow a white line track using RedBot sensors, and would respond to audio cues from the environment using a microphone. In this report, we explain the use of each of the components that were used to make the final vehicle and the working of the vehicle itself.

No âmbito da cadeira de Portfólio Pessoal, leccionada pelo professor Rui Santos Cruz, foi nos disponibilizada uma lista de actividades a desempenhar tendo estas como principal objectivo o desenvolvimento das imprescindíveis e cada vez mais necessárias "Soft Skills". A actividade escolhida foi um projecto colaborativo promovido pela associação de caridade "Entrajuda" e pelo Centro Paroquial do Campo Grande, sendo que, a actividade consistia na restauração e reabilitação do espaço exterior desta ultima organização. Entre as diversas tarefas a desenvolver no espaço exterior do centro paroquial, a escolhida foi o restauro dos bancos de jardim nele existentes, o que incluía todo o trabalho de pintura e tratamento de materiais (madeira, ferro) existentes nestes bancos. O intuito de toda esta restauração centrou-se na perspectiva, de num futuro recente, poder acolher todos os beneficiários do centro num local agradável, e com condições dignas de uma instituição cuja principal preocupação é ajudar quem mais precisa.

Benford law states that the occurrence of digits from 0-9 in a large set of data is not uniformly distributed but instead in a decreasing logarithmic distribution with 1 occurring at most. Almost all set of data follows this trend however this law is widely used as a base for various fraud detection and forensic accounting. Benford’s law is an observation that leading digits in data derived from measurements doesn’t follow uniform distribution. Different financial statements such as cash flows, income statement and balance sheet of the 20 tech companies of the Fortune 500 are analyzed in this project. Cash flow is the net amount of cash and cash-equivalents moving into and out of a business. Income statement is a financial statement that measures a company's financial performance over a specific accounting period. Balance sheet is a financial statement that summarizes a company's assets, liabilities and shareholders’ equity at a specific point in time. All of these data of financial statements are extracted from Morning Star database and are analyzed by Python program written by me.I also wrote the Python program to calculate Benford's second digit and third digit probability using the formula. I would like to thank Prof. Erin Wagner and Dr. Courtney Taylor for helping in this research project.
