8 Conclusions 6.4 Effect of Tdma Protocol

This paper investigates architectural and communication issues in designing heterogeneous parallel systems. The emerging high speed passive star-coupled optical interconnection using wavelength division multiplexing is considered as the system interconnect to provide high bandwidth communication demanded by heterogeneous systems. A representative master-slave computational model together with t...

Land Reform in Africa: No-Intervention Agreements

This paper investigates the effect that an option to call a mediator has on using voluntary agreements to solve a land conflict using a framed field experiment in the highlands of Ethiopia. A game theoretical model to describe this situation is constructed including a discussion related to social preferences, which subsequently the experimental design is based on. Our results indicate that almo...
