Soft Transactions *

چکیده
This paper postulates that when help is provided without contract, a soft debt is tacitly accrued by the bene ciary to the provider. It introduces a two-player stochastic game with random bene ts and costs, focusing on strategies that rely on the soft debt balance. It shows the existence of stationary Markov equilibriums in which players trade favors whenever the resulting soft debt balance is within a certain limit. It also demonstrates that the equilibriums could exist when costs are the provider's private information.

The Reduced Ceiling Protocol for Concurrency Control in Real-time Databases with Mixed Transactions
This paper proposes a real-time concurrency control protocol called Reduced Ceiling Protocol (RCP) for real-time database systems (RTDBS) consisting of hard and soft real-time transactions. The schedulability of hard real-time transactions can be improved by bounding the blocking time from soft real-time transactions. Different concurrency control strategies are proposed to resolve data conflic...
متن کاملEvaluation of concurrency control strategies for mixed soft real-time database systems
Previous research in real-time concurrency control mainly focuses on the schedulability guarantee of hard real-time transactions and the reducing of the miss rate of soft real-time transactions. Although many new database applications have significant response time requirements, not much work has been done in the joint scheduling of traditional non-real-time transactions and soft real-time tran...
متن کاملLocking Based Concurrency Control for Integrated Real-Time Database Systems
In many database applications, incoming transactions are a mixed load of conventional (non real-time) and real-time (typically soft and rm) transactions. In this environment, transactions can even be changed dynamically from non real-time to soft or rm, or from soft to rm deadline transactions according to their execution paths. In this paper we show how lock based approach can handle these sit...
متن کاملSoft-input soft-output modules for the construction and distributed iterative decoding of code networks
Soft-input soft-output building blocks (modules) are presented to construct and iteratively decode in a distributed fashion code networks, a new concept that includes, and generalizes, various forms of concatenated coding schemes. Among the modules, a central role is played by the SISO module (and the underlying algorithm): it consists of a four-port device performing a processing of the sequen...
متن کاملFully Ir(iii) tetrazolate soft salts: the road to white-emitting ion pairs.
The first examples of anionic Ir(iii) bis-tetrazolate complexes and their combination with a cationic Ir(iii)tetrazole derivative forming "fully tetrazolate" Ir(iii) based soft salts as O2-sensitive white emitters are described herein.
