Research Contributions Sample Clauses
The Research Contributions clause defines how the results, data, inventions, or intellectual property generated during a research project are handled. It typically outlines the ownership, sharing, and publication rights of any findings or materials developed by the parties involved, and may specify how credit is attributed among collaborators. This clause ensures that all parties have a clear understanding of their rights and responsibilities regarding the use and dissemination of research outputs, thereby preventing disputes and promoting fair recognition of contributions.
Research Contributions. The article makes the following major contributions: The proposed protocol offers a mechanism for secure mutual authentication utilizing multi-factors, such as a user’s password, real-identity, personal biometrics and mobile de- vice as four factors, to establish the session keys among the communicating parties (here, drones and users). In the proposed scheme, a major advantage is that limited payload and processing power of the deployed drones do not affect the scalability of the proposed scheme irrespective of the number of deployed drones. At the same time, a drone establishes a session key with the ground station (GS) for secret sharing. Here, a user Ui can not only access the real time data from a deployed drone DRj securely, but the GS also aggregates the same data securely with a session key with each other for storing into a blockchain center. A detailed formal security verification using broadly- accepted Scyther automated software validation tool and the informal (non-mathematical) security analysis show the pro- posed scheme’s robustness against various potential attacks needed for air-smart vehicular networks. A real-time testbed experiment for various cryptographic primitives as well as for the proposed authentication protocol is used to show the feasibility, the testbed uses Raspberry Pi 4 (model B) devices with cryptographic standard library (cryptography 37.0.2). Moreover, a blockchain simulation on the real data (image type) is also presented for this protocol which identifies the uniqueness of the scheme. In this article, our primary focus is to tackle the security concerns surrounding the communication channels between drones and users.
Research Contributions. Without limiting the foregoing, the Parties agree to commit the resources set forth in this Section 2.2 to perform their obligations under the Research Plan:
(a) Axys will initially provide Cytovia with approximately [ * ] each of approximately four hundred thousand (400,000) compounds (each, an "Axys Compound") in a [ * ] format to be delivered to Cytovia in approximately equal installments over the first [ * ] of the Research Term, or as soon as reasonably practicable thereafter. After Cytovia completes its screening of such compounds, or within thirty (30) days after [ * ], whichever is earlier, the Parties will determine in good faith whether screening of additional compounds is appropriate. If such additional screening is agreed to, Axys will provide Cytovia with an additional quantity of compounds as determined by the JRC, not to exceed an additional three hundred thousand (300,000) compounds in total, as soon as reasonably practicable following such determination. Upon completion of all screening hereunder Cytovia will, at Axys' election, return or destroy remaining compound inventories provided by Axys to Cytovia.
(b) Cytovia will initially contribute to the Research, from its libraries of compounds, [ * ] compounds (each, a "Cytovia Compound"), identified by the Parties and set forth on the attached Schedule 2.2(b), which will be the subject of initial research related activities as provided in the Research Plan. If and at such time as a Cytovia Compound fails either the second or third of the Lead Compound tests set forth on Schedule 1.27, Cytovia will contribute an additional Cytovia Compound mutually identified and agreed to by the Parties from Cytovia's libraries of compounds which compound will become the subject of research activities under the Research Plan. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, unless otherwise agreed by the Parties, Cytovia will only be required to contribute a maximum of [ * ] such replacement Cytovia Compounds (for a maximum total of [ * ] Cytovia Compounds contributed altogether). Cytovia will provide Axys with the synthetic route for the Cytovia Compounds and such quantities of such Cytovia Compounds as Axys reasonably requests for [ * ] = CERTAIN CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION CONTAINED IN THIS DOCUMENT, MARKED BY BRACKETS, HAS BEEN OMITTED AND FILED SEPARATELY WITH THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION PURSUANT TO RULE 24b-2 OF THE SECURITIES EXCHANGE ACT OF 1934, AS AMENDED.
Research Contributions. In this dissertation, we propose a novel framework for location-aware task manage- ment to handle uncertainty and ensure privacy in MCS applications while achieving desired task coverage with minimal cost. In Chapter 3 and Chapter 4, we present two spatial task assignment and selection methods to address the location privacy concerns of the participants in our framework. Chapter 5 and 6 extend the task management framework using an adaptive data-driven solution which deals with the continuous change and the uncertainty of dynamic environments in MCS. The rest of this section highlights the details of our contributions.

Research Contributions. In this dissertation, we address the following research problems: • How to sample high-dimensional and large data from original data while guaranteeing high utility under differential privacy? • How to release series of dynamic datasets in real time under differential privacy? • How to handle personalized differential privacy when record owners have different privacy preferences?
Research Contributions. The main contributions of the proposed scheme are as follows:
1) We propose a novel session key agreement scheme for protecting re- ▇▇▇▇ user authentication of the IIoT. The scheme uses smart cards, passwords and biometrics so it is a three-factor authentication scheme. There will be three types of mutual authentication in this scheme: a) between a user and the sever; b) between the sever and the smart ter- ▇▇▇▇▇ node; c) between the user and the smart terminal node. Finally, a symmetric session key is established between the user and the smart terminal node.
2) The proposed scheme is lightweight by using fuzzy extractor, one-way hash function and simple bit operation XOR. This is suitable for ter- ▇▇▇▇▇ nodes with limited computing and storage resources.
3) We perform a formal security analysis using the widely accepted real- or-random (ROR) model. Formal security analysis proves the semantic security of the adversary’s acquisition of the session key between the user and the device in the proposed scheme.
4) The proposed scheme use proxy re-encryption to reduce communication and computational overhead, and simplifies the key agreement process. The user’s pseudo-name and private key are dynamically updated dur- ing each session key agreement to ensure one-time pad. Our scheme guarantee the anonymity and unlinkability of users.
