The article discusses the 2nd Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE)International Conference on Multimedia Big Data (BigMM 2016) held in Taipei, Taiwan from April 20-22, 2016.

The 2008 annual conference of the Asia Pacific Bioinformatics Network (APBioNet), Asia's oldest bioinformatics organisation set up in 1998, was organized as the 7th International Conference on Bioinformatics (InCoB), jointly with the Bioinformatics and Systems Biology in Taiwan (BIT 2008) Conference, Oct. 20-23, 2008 at Taipei, Taiwan. Besides bringing together scientists from the field of bioinformatics in this region, InCoB is actively involving researchers from the area of systems biology, to facilitate greater synergy between these two groups. Marking the 10th Anniversary of APBioNet, this InCoB 2008 meeting followed on from a series of successful annual events in Bangkok (Thailand), Penang (Malaysia), Auckland (New Zealand), Busan (South Korea), New Delhi (India) and Hong Kong. Additionally, tutorials and the Workshop on Education in Bioinformatics and Computational Biology (WEBCB) immediately prior to the 20th Federation of Asian and Oceanian Biochemists and Molecular Biologists (FAOBMB) Taipei Conference provided ample opportunity for inducting mainstream biochemists and molecular biologists from the region into a greater level of awareness of the importance of bioinformatics in their craft. In this editorial, we provide a brief overview of the peer-reviewed manuscripts accepted for publication herein, grouped into thematic areas. As the regional research expertise in bioinformatics matures, the papers fall into thematic areas, illustrating the specific contributions made by APBioNet to global bioinformatics efforts.

The article discusses the inclusion of "Asia Pacific Journal of Management" (APJM) into the Social Sciences Citation Index (SSCI). The celebrations will take place at the Asia Academy of Management (AAOM) conference in Taipei, Taiwan. In addition, the festivities will include two Special Issues. The author also discusses the next steps for the scholarly community, including the submission of more high-quality work to the APJM. People who the author would like to thank for their assistance in the creation of the journal are also mentioned including editorial staff, writers, and board members.

This work concentrates on differential-linear distinguishing attacks on the prominent ARX-based permutation ChaCha. Here, we significantly improve the 7-round differential-linear distinguisher for ChaCha permutation by introducing a new path of linear approximation. We first introduce a new single-bit differential distinguisher for the 3.5th round of the permutation that assists us in inventing a new path for the differential-linear distinguisher. We show that one can distinguish a 7-round ChaCha permutation with time complexity of 2 207 . This improves the recent work of Coutinho et al. (in: Advances in Cryptology—ASIACRYPT 2022—28nd International Conference on the Theory and Application of Cryptology and Information Security, Taipei, Taiwan, December 5–9, 2012, Springer, 2022), which achieved time complexity 2 214 . We also propose a distinguisher for the 7.25-round of ChaCha permutation and this is the first distinguishing attack for more than 7-round of ChaCha permutation. We provide theoretical proofs and the corresponding experimental results for the linear approximations that we use for differential-linear distinguisher. We point out that the existing multibit distinguishing attacks on the cipher ChaCha are invalid. These attacks are worked only for the ChaCha permutation. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Information about a workshop entitled "Labor Flows to Taiwan" held on June 6 to 8, 1991 in Taipei, Taiwan is presented. The objectives of the workshop were to review the existing knowledge about labor migration from Southeast Asia to Taiwan and develop a research proposal for further research into the phenomenon. Topics discussed were factors which triggered the flow of Southeast Asian workers to Taiwan, about illegal workers and perspectives of the individual sending country.
