In many economic situations, a player pursues coordination or anti-coordination with her neighbors on a network, but she also has intrinsic preferences among the available options. We here introduce a model which allows to analyze this issue by means of a simple framework in which players endowed with an idiosyncratic identity interact on a social network through strategic complements or substi...

We extend here the work on interleaved distributed graph based backjumping, IDIBT/GBJ 7,6,5 by considering conflicting agents . The resulting method IDIBT/CBJ-DkC for Conflict-directed BackJumbing and Directed k-Consistency combines distributed and parallel explorations of search spaces with more efficient backtrack steps. We take advantage of the asynchronous framework to implement a more refi...

Indian Ocean is known as a source of moisture for southeast of Iran due to summer precipitation. In this study, in order to investigate the role of SST of Indian Ocean, and the convergence and divergence fields in the precipitation of southeast of Iran, precipitation data of five synoptic stations were used during 2000-2010, including Iranshahr, Khash, ChahBahar, Zabul, and Saravan. To investig...

Multicore main-memory databases only obtain parallel performance when transactions do not conflict. Conflicting transactions are executed one at a time in order to ensure that they have serializable effects. Sequential execution on contended data leaves cores idle and reduces throughput. In other parallel programming contexts—not serializable transactions— techniques have been developed that ca...
