A Permission-Based Distributed Mutual Exclusion Algorithm allowing Quality of Service (PBDMEAQoS) [PDF]
The main purpose of mutual exclusion in a distributed environment is to control access to a shared resource. Large-scale distributed systems such as clouds or grids provide shared informatics resources to its clients. In this type of environment, Service

Abstract This study uses longitudinal data from the UK Millennium Cohort Study (N = 13,277) to examine the childhood and early adolescence factors that predict weapon involvement in middle adolescence, which in this study is exemplified by having carried or used a weapon.

Mutual Exclusivity in Pragmatic Agents [PDF]
AbstractOne of the great challenges in word learning is that words are typically uttered in a context with many potential referents. Children's tendency to associate novel words with novel referents, which is taken to reflect a mutual exclusivity (ME) bias, forms a useful disambiguation mechanism.

AbstractMutual exclusion scheduling is the problem of scheduling unit-time tasks non-preemptively on m processors subject to constraints represented by a graph G, such that tasks represented by adjacent vertices in G must run in disjoint time intervals.

Self-stabilizing Mutual Exclusion and Group Mutual Exclusion for Population Protocols with Covering [PDF]
This paper presents and proves correct two self-stabilizing deterministic algorithms solving the mutual exclusion and the group mutual exclusion problems in the model of population protocols with covering. In this variant of the population protocol model, a local fairness is used and bounded state anonymous mobile agents interact in pairs according to ...

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
