The high cost of non-compliance with laws and regulations that govern software systems makes legal requirements prioritization crucial. In addition, software design, expense, and time constraints all influence how requirements are prioritized. Prioritizing requirements derived from laws and regulations can be untenable using traditional pairwise requirements prioritization techniques because th...

We analyze a model of strategic network formation prior to a Manea (2011) bargaining game: ex-ante homogeneous players form costly undirected links anticipating expected equilibrium payoffs from the subsequent network bargaining. Assuming patient players, we provide a complete characterization of non-singularly pairwise (Nash) stable networks: specific disjoint unions of separated pairs, odd ci...

This paper presents a simple and very accurate method to evaluate the error probability of bit-interleaved coded modulation. Modelling the channel as a binaryinput continuous-output channel with a non-Gaussian transition density allows for the application of standard bounding techniques for Gaussian channels. The pairwise error probability is equal to the tail probability of a sum of random var...
