Black-White Bakery Algorithm Made RW-Safe
ComputersLamport’s Bakery algorithm is a well-known, simple, and elegant solution to the mutual exclusion problem for N ≥ 2 concurrent/parallel processes. However, the algorithm generates an unbounded number of tickets, even when only 2 processes are arbitrated ...

Performative Practices: Architecture and Engineering in the 21st Century, 2011 As individuals, institutions, and agencies stumble over each other creating new benchmarks for performance, speaking past one another along the way, the concept of performance becomes increasingly illusive – as does its implication in architectural practice. MECHANISTICALLY, it is a manner or quality of functioning.

Recoverable Mutual Exclusion with Abortability [PDF]
Computing, 2019 AbstractRecent advances in non-volatile main memory (NVM) technology have spurred research on algorithms that are resilient to intermittent failures that cause processes to crash and subsequently restart. In this paper we present a Recoverable Mutual Exclusion (RME) algorithm that supports abortability.

Hypothesis Competition beyond Mutual Exclusivity [PDF]
Philosophy of Science, 2017 Competition between scientific hypotheses is not always a matter of mutual exclusivity. Consistent hypotheses can compete to varying degrees either directly or indirectly via a body of evidence. We motivate and defend a particular account of hypothesis competition by showing how it captures these features. Computer simulations of Bayesian inference are

Fractional exclusion statistics in general systems with interaction
, 2008 I show that fractional exclusion statistics (FES) is manifested in general interacting systems and I calculate the exclusion statistics parameters. Most importantly, I show that the mutual exclusion statistics parameters--when the presence of particles ...

A minimal model for multiple epidemics and immunity spreading. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2010 Pathogens and parasites are ubiquitous in the living world, being limited only by availability of suitable hosts. The ability to transmit a particular disease depends on competing infections as well as on the status of host immunity.

, 2021 Background: Why should, and how could the occurrence of an event At at a certain (period of) time / Bernoulli trial t exclude the occurrence of another event Bt at the same (period of) time / Bernoulli trial t and vice versa? Can this be described mathematically, somehow? Methods: Basic methods of classical logic, probability theory and statistics were

Mutual exclusion revisited [PDF]
Proceedings of the 5th Jerusalem Conference on Information Technology, 1990. 'Next Decade in Information Technology', 2002 A family of four mutual exclusion algorithms is presented. Its members vary from a simple three-bit linear wait mutual exclusion to the four-bit first-come first-served algorithm immune to various faults. The algorithms are based on a scheme similar to J.M. Morris's (1979) solution of the mutual exclusion problem with three weak semaphores. The present

Proving Properties of Dekker’s Algorithm for Mutual Exclusion of N Processes
AlgorithmsDekker’s algorithm for mutual exclusion of two processes is the well-known first developed correct solution based only on software mechanisms. The algorithm served as the starting point for researchers to create subsequent safe solutions both for two and

A Quorum-Based Group Mutual Exclusion Algorithm for a Distributed System with Dynamic Group Set [PDF]
, 2007 The group mutual exclusion problem extends the traditional mutual exclusion problem by associating a type (or a group) with each critical section.
