  2. 1. Drugs and the Convention on the Rights of the Child : Fragmentation, Contention and Structural Bias

    Author : Damon Barrett; Pål Wrange; Allyn Taylor; Manfred Nowak; Rebecca Stern; Stockholms universitet; []
    Keywords : SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; child rights; drug control; Convention on the Rights of the Child; structural bias; critical child rights studies; internationell rätt; International Law;

    Abstract : Responding to the harms caused by drug use and the drug trade is one of the most pressing and interdisciplinary challenges of our time, within which the protection of children has become central. But there has been relatively little academic attention to the international legal dimensions of drug policy, despite the existence of a dedicated international legal framework on the issue and a range of other treaties that include drugs in some way.

  4. 2. Characterization of Shared Resource Contention in Multi-core Systems

    Author : Jakob Danielsson; Mikael Sjödin; Stefano Di Carlo; Mälardalens högskola; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Computer Science; datavetenskap;

    Abstract : Multi-core computers are infamous for being hard to use in time-critical systems due to execution-time variations as an effect of shared resource contention. In this thesis we study the problem of shared resource contention which occurs when multiple applications executing on different cores do not have exclusive ownership of a shared resource. READ MORE

  5. 3. Contention-based Multiple Access Architectures for Networked Control Systems

    Author : Chithrupa Ramesh; Karl Henrik Johansson; Henrik Sandberg; Dawn Tilbury; KTH; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Electrical engineering; Elektroteknik;

    Abstract : Networked Control Systems (NCSs) use a wireless network for communication between sensors and controllers, and require a Medium Access Controller (MAC) to arbitrate access to the shared medium. Traditionally, a MAC for control systems is chosen primarily based on the delay it introduces in the closed loop. READ MORE

  7. 5. Dynamic Adaptations of Synchronization Granularity in Concurrent Data Structures

    Author : Kjell Winblad; Konstantinos Sagonas; Erez Petrank; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; concurrent data structures; contention adapting; range queries; lock-freedom; adaptivity; linearizability; ordered sets; maps; key-value stores; concurrent priority queues; relaxed concurrent data structures; locks; delegation locking; Computer Science; Datavetenskap;

    Abstract : The multicore revolution means that programmers have many cores at their disposal in everything from phones to large server systems. Concurrent data structures are needed to make good use of all the cores. Designing a concurrent data structure that performs well across many different scenarios is a difficult task. READ MORE
