In this paper, we describe a case study of formal verification for a computer bus arbitration controller by using the temporal logic of model checking. The implementation of the verification uses the Berkeley-VIS model checking system. Futurebus is a multiprocessor system bus with an arbitration and control mechanism. We describe the verification of the arbitration controller of "Futurebus'' (I...

This paper proposes an approach for engineer self-organised Multi-Agents Systems. This approach is based upon the human immune system. The role of the immune systems, in this approach, is the arbitration of several behaviours. We extend the arbitration capabilities of the immune system to define an architecture for multi-agent systems coordination. The proposed architecture is composed of sever...

Abstract This paper presents a scalable and partitionable asynchronous bus arbiter for use with chip multiprocessors (CMP) and its corresponding pre-layout simulation results using VHDL. The arbiter exploits the advantage of a concurrency control instruction (Brk) provided by the micro-threaded microprocessor model to set the priority processor and move the circulated arbitration token at the m...

We compare three common dispute resolution processes — negotiation, mediation, and arbitration — in the framework of Crawford and Sobel (1982). Under negotiation, the two parties engage in (possibly arbitrarily long) face-to-face cheap talk. Under mediation, the parties communicate with a neutral third party who makes a non-binding recommendation. Under arbitration, the two parties commit to co...

We analyze a simple arbitration procedure which is a multi-stage variant of Nash's demand game. In the absence of discounting, all Nash equilibria of the game yield the egalitarian solution in the first stage. The crucial feature of our arbitration procedure is that, in the case of incompatible demands, the game is allowed to continue and the player who demands the higher gain over the disagree...

An adaptive algorithm for fair bandwidth allocation, low latency and maximum CPU utilization is proved to be a promising approach for designing system-on-chip for future applications. Adaptive arbitration focuses on user oriented as well as system oriented performance therefore it is more advantageous then the other conventional arbitration algorithms for several reasons; these include fair ban...

arbitration as an alternative to state courts will succeed in fairly resolving disputes if it can remove the obstacles to hearings and guarantee the equal treatment of the parties. in litigations, judicial assistances (legal aids) such as insolvency proceedings come to the help of the impecunious party so that the economic obstacles do not lead to the violation of basic and fundamental rights s...

Some peoples’ dreams are really great, or at least really exotic. Reverend Martin Luther King had a history-changing dream, of the end of discrimination. Me, I had a dream about a really great conference on arbitration, and how it might ultimately help lead to legal reform of arbitration. While the dream may not have been the most exotic, thanks to the participants in this Symposium, and many o...

Nowadays, task parallelism is recognized to be a huge challenge for future extreme scale computing system. Advancement in parallel computing system necessitates solving the bus contention in a most efficient manner along with high computation rate. An arbiter receives bus requests from master components to grant the bus access. Therefore, an arbiter plays an important role in solving the bus co...
