Coordinating for Cohesion

Coordinating cohesion, co-orientation, and congression during meiosis: lessons from holocentric chromosomes.

Organisms that reproduce sexually must reduce their chromosome number by half during meiosis to generate haploid gametes. To achieve this reduction in ploidy, organisms must devise strategies to couple sister chromatids so that they stay together during the first meiotic division (when homologous chromosomes separate) and then segregate away from one another during the second division. Here we ...

On Methodologies for Coordinating Programs

This paper discusses a methodological approach for coordinating programs, based on the composition of specifications written in a UNITYlike temporal logic.

Argumentation for Coordinating Shared Activities

There is an increasing need for space missions to be able to collaboratively (and competitively) develop plans both within and across missions. In addition, interacting spacecraft that interleave onboard planning and execution must reach consensus on their commitments to each other prior to execution. In domains where missions have varying degrees of interaction and different constraints on com...
