‘Living’ Wage, Class Conflict and Ethnic Strife We examine how group-specific differences in reservation wage, arising due to asymmetries in social entitlements, impact on distribution via the joint determination of class conflict between workers and employers, and ‘ethnic’ conflict among workers. We model a twodimensional contest, where two unions, representing different sections of workers, j...

This paper aims to find a transformation from persistent Petri nets, which are a general class of conflict-free Petri nets, into a more restricted class of nets called behaviourally conflict-free nets. In a persistent net, whenever two distinct transitions are simultaneously enabled, one cannot become disabled through the occurrence of the other. In a behaviourally conflict-free net, two distin...

When developing a system in Model-driven Engineering (MDE), developers change the same diagram in parallel. These changes generate different versions that may conflict. Conflicts can be syntactic, related to the structure of the diagram, or semantic, related to the meaning of the diagram. The detection of semantic conflicts in diagrams should take into consideration both the syntax and semantic...

A generally agreed upon requirement for correctness of concurrent executions in Transactional Memory is that all transactions including the aborted ones read consistent values. Opacity is a recently proposed correctness criterion that satisfies the above requirement. Our first contribution in this paper is extending the opacity definition for closed nested transactions. Secondly, we define a re...
