Mapping and analyzing multiple applications on a multi-processor system is a complex problem. Analyzing the feasibility and resource utilization of all possible use-cases is often infeasible. Here we highlight the issue of composability, i.e. being able to analyze applications in isolation while still reason about the overall system behavior. We observe that arbitration plays an important role ...

In this paper we explore the combination of a time-predictable chipmultiprocessor system with the single-path programming paradigm. Time-sliced arbitration of the main memory access provides time-predictable memory load and store instructions. Single-path programming avoids control flow dependent timing variations. To keep the execution time of tasks constant, even in the case of shared memory ...

© 2011 ETRI Journal, Volume 33, Number 3, June 2011 With the introduction of the new generation RFID technology, EPCglobal Class-1 Generation-2, there is considerable interest in improving the performance of the framed slotted Aloha (FSA)-based tag collision arbitration protocol. We suggest a novel time-optimal anti-collision algorithm for the FSA protocol. Our performance evaluation demonstrat...

The Nash arbitration scheme from cooperative game theory provides a natural framework to address the allocation of available bandwidth in network links which is network (Pareto) optimal and satisfies precise notions of fairness. In this paper we propose two distributed bandwidth allocation schemes that allocate available badwidths to elastic sources according to the Nash arbitration scheme. We ...

In the conditions of modernization and reform in world, ongoing reforms law enforcement judicial-legal spheres are aimed primarily at comprehensive protection human rights, freedoms legitimate interests. Over past period, large-scale organizational legal measures have been taken to gradually strengthen judicial system, ensure its independence, reliably protect civil rights freedoms. At present,...

This work proposes an axiomatic characterization of merging operators. It underlines the diierences between arbitration operators and majority operators. A representation theorem is stated showing that each merging operator corresponds to a family of partial pre-orders on interpretations. Examples of operators are given. They show the consistency of the axiomatic characterization. A new merging...
