Cooperation, Norms, and Revolutions: A Unified Game-Theoretical Approach

BACKGROUND Cooperation is of utmost importance to society as a whole, but is often challenged by individual self-interests.

A Lattice-Theoretical Approach to Deterministic Parallelism with Shared State

We present a new model for deterministic-by-construction parallel programming that generalizes existing single-assignment models to allow multiple assignments that are monotonically increasing with respect to a user-specifiedpartial order. Our model achieves determinism by using a novel shared data structure with an API that allows onlymonotonic writes and “threshold” reads that blo...
