Abstract

The paper considers the treatment of fairness assumptions which arenot equivalence-robust, a central issue in relatinginterleaving semantics topartial order semantics. A notion ofcompletion is introduced and studied, and two specific completions are considered:maximal completion, which is easier to implement (shown by a broadcast bus implementation) but guarantees only weak liveness properties of programs using it; andminimal completion, which may be harder to implement but induces stronger liveness properties on programs using it. Some properties of completions are formulated. Finally, the impact of non-equivalence-robustness on compositionality with respect to separate fairness assumptions is considered.

Airtime Fairness for IEEE 802.11 Multirate Networks

Under a multi rate network scenario, the IEEE 802.11 DCF MAC fails to provide air-time fairness for all competing stations since the protocol is designed for ensuring max-min throughput fairness and the maximum achievable throughput by any station gets ...
A divide & conquer approach to liveness model checking under fairness & anti-fairness assumptions

This paper proposes an approach to making liveness model checking problems under fairness feasible. The proposed method divides such a problem into smaller ones that can be conquered. It is not superior to existing tools dedicated to model checking ...
