this paper presents an efficient mechanism to convert sana’ani dialect to modern standard arabic. the mechanism is based on morphological rules related to sana’ani dialect as well as modern standard arabic. such rules facilitate the dialect conversion to its corresponding msa. the mechanism tokenizes the input dialect text and divides each token into stem and its affixes; such affixes can be ca...

The k-local mutual exclusion is a generalization of local mutual exclusion problem introduced by Attiya et al.. In k-local mutual exclusion, it is assumed that the k identical copies of a resource are shared among the geographically close nodes. The paper proposes a solution to the k-local mutual exclusion problem in MANETs. The algorithm uses a leader-based approach and the leader is equipped ...

Mutual Exclusion is one of the most studied topics in distributed systems where processes communicate by asynchronous message passing. It is often necessary for multiple processes at different sites to access a shared resource or data called a critical section (CS) in distributed systems. A number of algorithms have been proposed to solve the mutual exclusion problem in distributed systems. In ...

Efficient coordination among large numbers of heterogeneous agents promises to revolutionize the way in which some complex tasks, such as responding to urban disasters can be performed. Token-based approaches have shown to be a novel and promising way for such coordination. However, previous token-based algorithms were built on heuristics and did not explicitly consider utilities related to tok...

Vaidya paper: A mutual exclusion algorithm for ad hoc mobile networks Recall, their network model, changing graph, with links coming and going at any time. Managed mutual exclusion using a token traveling through the changing network. Used Gafni-Bertsekas link reversal ideas to maintain a token-oriented DAG (rather than a destination-oriented DAG as in GB). A node that receives the token may lo...

With the rising demand for protection against new risks such as loss of digital assets, novel insurance services and products emerge. In particular, token-based solutions on blockchain transform business by providing cover streamlined, (semi-)automated underwriting claim processes. chapter, we present a general framework solutions, delegating their fundamental building blocks that include core ...

We propose a typed token scheme for managing replicated data in distributed database systems. Compared to previous schemes, for each object, a set of tokens is used. Each token represents a specific capability for the allowable operations on the object. By distributing tokens to different physical capies of the object, the object can be made available far different operations in variaus partiti...

In this paper, we propose a token based algorithm to solve the group mutual exclusion (GME) problem for ad hoc mobile networks. The proposed algorithm is adapted from the RL algorithm in [WWV98] and utilizes the concept of weight throwing in [Tse95]. We prove that the proposed algorithm satisfies the mutual exclusion, the bounded delay, and the concurrent entering properties. The proposed algor...
