In this paper we introduce a model of arbitration decision making which generalizes several previous models of both conventional arbitration and final offer arbitration. We derive the equilibrium offers that risk neutral disputants would propose, and show how these offers would vary under different arbitration procedures. In particular, we show that optimal offers made under conventional arbitr...

hearings, according to the general principles, appear in open courts. therefore, confidential and private hearings are exeptional by legal stipulation. this exeption is depicted and stipulated in arbitration. the charactristics of arbitration are being confidential and private. these two are main points for reterring to arbitration. in jurisprudence, the consensus is only on the private aspect ...

This thesis is an in-depth discussion and analysis of the alternative dispute resolution process of arbitration in the United States. It begins by providing a basic explanatory overview of arbitration clauses and the arbitration process. It then goes on to highlight the various benefits over traditional court litigation that arbitration has to offer. From there, the paper presents a detailed di...

Online arbitration is different from traditional arbitration not only because the process may be held online, but also because the core elements of its definition may be different. The differences may change online arbitration definition, however, they do not, hamper the validity of online arbitration. Online arbitration can be defined and used in a very flexible approach because of its core ad...

We examine a game theory model of arbitration that generalizes previous models of both Final Offer Arbitration and Conventional Arbitration, and thereby enables a direct comparison of the two procedures. The model assumes there is a single quantifiable issue in dispute between two risk averse disputants. We analyze the relative range between the disputants' equilibrium offers and find that fina...

We propose an arbitration model framework that generalizes many previous quantitative models of final offer arbitration, conventional arbitration, and some proposed alternatives to them. Our model allows the two disputants to be risk averse and assumes that the issue(s) in dispute can be summarized by a single quantifiable value. We compare the performance of the different arbitration procedure...

This paper describes a method that allows the speed up of parallel processes in distributed arbitration schemes as used in Futurebus+. It is based on special arbitration codes that decrease the maximal arbitration time to a specified value. Such codes can be applied with few, if any, minor changes of the hardware. The general structure of these codes is given. Introduction. One important compon...

This paper presents the design and performance analysis of an arbiter with a hybrid arbitration algorithm. The hybrid arbitration algorithm contains static fixed priority algorithm in conjunction with dynamic algorithm to gain better system performance is described. The performance analysis for the various combinations of the arbitration algorithms under different traffic loads is simulated. Th...

As the contributions to this Symposium suggest, much could be done to improve arbitration, particularly the sort of “new” or “mass” arbitration that has sprouted during the past twenty-five years. Mass arbitration stems from the judiciary’s modern favorable attitude toward enforcement of arbitration clauses, even those imposed upon consumers, employees, small vendors, and debtors as part of a s...

In shared System-on-chip(SoC) bus systems, arbiters are mandatory to deal with bus contentions while providing a hard real-time guarantee. In this paper, we propose a shared bus arbitration algorithm, called adaptive dynamic and real-time guaranteed arbitration algorithm. It allows high bus utilization and proper bandwidth allocation while guaranteeing hard real-time requirements. Comparisons a...
