Rebellious riots : entangled geographies of contention in Africa
Starting from the question why different forms of contentious politics in Africa, from rural uprisings to armed rebellions, have for so long been studied separately and in disconnection to each other, this chapter forms the introduction of our edited ...

Analisys of the Methods of Preventing of Contention Resolution in Optical Packet Switching Networks
— Optical networks evolve fast. Nowadays many technologies of optical networks are using. But there are some restrictions which make limited of the possibilities of the optical networks. Contention Resolution is one of them.

160 Gb/s all-optical contention resolution with prioritization using integrated photonic components [PDF]
We present for the first time 160Gb/s all-optical contention resolution with prioritization using integrated photonic devices. Error-free operation verifies that complex photonic systems are possible and could play a central role in future high-capacity ...

Towards an Optimal Contention Resolution Scheme for Matchings [PDF]
In this paper, we study contention resolution schemes for matchings. Given a fractional matching $x$ and a random set $R(x)$ where each edge $e$ appears independently with probability $x_e$, we want to select a matching $M \subseteq R(x)$ such that $\Pr ...

Optimal Protocols for 2-Party Contention Resolution [PDF]
\emph{Contention Resolution} is a fundamental symmetry-breaking problem in which $n$ devices must acquire temporary and exclusive access to some \emph{shared resource}, without the assistance of a mediating authority.
