In this article we implement a stochastic modeling technique for simulating the communication between processors and arbitration among buses. The stochastic models implemented with queues have been used to estimate through simulation of different arbitration policies the power consumption and delays, as well as estimate average or worst case scenarios that could occur with different architectur...

We study subgame-perfect implementation (SPI) mechanisms that have been proposed in the literature as a solution to the hold-up problem. We show that SPI mechanism – which are based on off-equilibrium arbitration clauses that impose fines for lying and the inappropriate use of arbitration — have severe behavioral constraints. The fines imposed in the SPI mechanism induce retaliation against leg...

Field evidence suggests that arbitration increases negotiation dispute rates. We study repeated bargaining in a laboratory to understand the reasons why. Our results represent a reinterpretation of an explanation known as the narcotic effect. The standard interpretation assumes that the probability of dispute without arbitration is constant across negotiations, but field evidence suggests that ...

The read range of UHF mobile readers can be extended by a booster for mobile RFID readers (BoMR). But in an environment where multiple BoMRs are installed, the read success rate may be decreased due to signal interference. This paper proposes three arbitration methods based on interference estimation with the purpose of enhancing the read success rate. A central arbitration server manages globa...

Online Dispute Resolution (ODR) has been promoted for quickly and conveniently resolving claims using online "drive-thru" processes instead of more costly and time-consuming face-to-face meetings and hearings. Most commentators have nonetheless focused mainly on non-binding or automated bidding processes, perhaps due in part to fairness concerns associated with off-line arbitration. This Articl...

Arbitration is frequently utilized to settle disputes. Much research has focused on the properties of final-offer arbitration (FOA) relative to conventional arbitration. Both mechanisms should encourage settlement in standard environments, but previous empirical work finds that impasses remain common. A modification of FOA, amended final-offer arbitration (AFOA), has been proposed as an alterna...

according to the provisions of civil proceedings code, courts procedural principles and formalities are not required to be respected in arbitration. such provisions are differently interpreted by lawyers. some lawyers believe that since arbitration is a kind of personal judgment, it should not be subject to the civil procedure and therefore arbitrators directly or with the request of the partie...

Until recently few jurisdictions have allowed arbitration of family law disputes, considering such arbitration to be contrary to public policy. But policies favouring private ordering, combined with pressures on family courts have encouraged reconsideration of the policy issues. This is notably true in common law jurisdictions. Similar developments in civil law jurisdictions are inhibited by th...

The paper compares conventional and final-offer arbitration from the welfare perspective. By some existing contractual arrangement, one party is supposed to make a payment to the other party, depending on the state of the world. Under asymmetric information, one party has a better signal about the state of the world and the other party is aware about its informational disadvantage. Then the ran...

Crossbar switch is a key component of communication switches used in networks. Allocation of resources has a direct impact on packet transmission. A poor allocation results in long transmission delays. Hence, switches must include an arbiter that efficiently allocates the crossbar’s resources. In this brief, a novel VLSI CMOS implementation of a high performance wrapped wave front arbitration (...
