Putting Opacity in its Place

We clarify the relationships between Guerraoui and Kapalka’s opacity correctness condition for Transactional Memory (TM) algorithms and the TMS1 and TMS2 conditions we have previously proposed. Using formal, machine checked simulation proofs constructed using the PVS theorem proving system, we have shown that all algorithms that satisfy opacity also satisfy TMS1, and that all algorithms that sa...

Putting Plasticity in Its Place

activity corresponding to a series of shuttle runs across a square arena, heteroassociative connections between activated place cells become potentiated, cells with overlapping place fields develop strong bidirectional connections and asymmetric connections between cells against the direction of motion become depressed. The elevated connectivity of the activated ensemble resembles the broad dev...

Putting Risk in Its Proper Place

This paper examines preferences towards particular classes of lottery pairs. We show how concepts such as prudence and temperance can be fully characterized by a preference relation over these lotteries. If preferences are defined in an expected-utility framework with differentiable utility, the direction of preference for a particular class of lottery pairs is equivalent to signing the nth der...
