Computer Scientists From Israel

"Our first secure IBE system extends to give a selective identity Hierarchical IBE secure without random oracles."

"I recall how I came on the board of Aleph-Yissum at the request of Yissum."

"I became Chairman of the Board to help develop the company and represent the interests of the Hebrew University."

"I had to impact on the management in order to have a real ג€start-upג€ ."

"I negotiated our relations with Ex Libris. Unix was introduced at my request, a decision that would have dramatic influence on the market."

"I also led to the merger of Aleph-Yissum and Ex Libris while facing a near revolt of the other Israeli Universities libraries."

"In an appendix I give some details on our adventure with the French National Library."

"I find myself compelled to tell my part in the creation and growth of what would become Ex Libris."

"The story of this company is well documented and apart from the exact interview of Yohanan Spruch in the above cited article."

"I will give my own personal account and ask for forgiveness if some dates are not exact to the day."

"Some names are missing, and many companies are unknown to the present generation."

"I will tell exactly how I lived this adventure."

"I arrived at the Rouen faculty in January 1967, after my military service as an assistant in Mathematics."

"I was then starting a thesis in Paris with Jacques-Louis Lions."

"Georges Bourion was then giving the numerical analysis course and Gérard Lévy the practical work on an IBM terminal."

"Connected to an IBM computer in Lille. G. Lévy was also due to leave for Dauphine."

"I found myself in charge of programming and practical work."

"The connection with Lille and the rental of the IBM terminal proved expensive."

"I was tasked with setting up an alternative solution."

"Maurice Bouix, Paul Rougée, the dean, among others, participated in the choice."

"The authors of retracted articles gain the most out of the continuous readership and citations of their articles. We should all remember that an author’s h-index score does not distinguish between positive and negative citations. Therefore, even if a retracted article is negatively cited, the citations counts are still calculated towards a higher h-index. In addition, the references appearing on retracted articles also gain since they are too counted towards total citations."

"Winning the award is further testimony to the fact that the cryptographic and complexity theoretic community embraced these ideas in the last 30 years."

"To allow a small error to setting new goals for security."

"We were graduate students and let our imagination run free, from using randomized methods to encrypt single bits to enlarging the classical definition of a proof."

"Our work was very unconventional at the time."

"I am very proud to have won the Turing Award."

"The Simons Institute at Berkeley, under my leadership, will continue its dedication to the discovery of the fundamentals of computation and to findings that enable technological progress and positive social change."

"As the periodic table, relativity or the genome."

"Their mathematical underpinnings are thus as important to modern society."

"Algorithms govern our computing-based world in the same way that the laws of nature govern the physical one."

"In 2017 we recommended already that they change this practice and place retracted articles behind a paywall. We have to remember that there are institutions and countries who cannot afford to buy Elsevier content. These institutions rely on open access resources for their academic and scientific work. Therefore, Elsevier has to ensure that retracted articles are not easily accessible. These articles often represent erroneous research in forms of falsified data and findings. Elsevier should make them harder rather than easier to access."

"Unlike other publishers, Elsevier makes all the retracted articles on ScienceDirect free in full text open access format. That means that anyone can download and read them. Since the vast majority of Elsevier articles are not open access, it is a bit strange that they choose to have retracted articles completely open access."
