We give a new approach in modeling the incomplete information in a buyer-seller game. We assume that the seller does not know the buyer's utility function at all. Usually the problem is solved by determining the Bayesian Nash equilibrium of the game, where it is assumed that the buyer's utility function has only some parameters unknown to the seller, and the seller knows the distribution of the...

This paper generalizes the load scaling techniques proposed in [4, 5] for xed-priority real-time applications. A framework is proposed to adjust the system workload by relating the criticality and exibility of a process to the resource allocation problem. A load adjustment procedure based on the approximation algorithm [10] is proposed to maximize the system pro t in an on-line fashion. When th...
