This paper presents the combination of two well established principles: the CO-OPN synchronisation mechanism, and the Merlin and Farber time Petri nets. Real-time synchronised Petri nets systems are then defined such that a Petri net is an object that can ask to be synchronised with another net, and whose transition firing is constrained by relative time intervals. Our proposal…

Towards a Secure and Efficient Model for Grid Computing using Mobile Code

Mobile code has often been mentioned as an attractive technol- ogy for distributing computations inside a Grid consisting of heterogeneous nodes interconnected by a large-scale network. We describe here a Java-based mobile agent model for a Grid infrastructure which addresses issues such as customizable distribution of computation, security, billing and accounting.

MobiHealth - innovative 2.5 / 3G mobile services and applications for healthcare

MobiHealth aims at introducing new mobile valueadded services in the area of healthcare, based on 2.5 (GPRS) and 3G (UMTS) technologies, thus promoting the use and deployment of GPRS and UMTS. This will be achieved by the integration of sensors and actuators to a Wireless Body Area Network (BAN). These sensors and actuators will continuously measure and transmit vital constants along…

A Wave-guide Model for Packetized Media Streaming in Lossless Networks

Optimal operation of network based multimedia applications requires a precise specification of the network parameters. Different models have been used in the past in calculating the behavior of the network and defining parameters like throughput and delays of packets, using among others fluid analogy. In this paper we extend the bundled packet level perspective towards the…

Bidder Behavior in Multiunit Auctions: Evidencefrom Swedish Treasury Auctions

We analyze a unique data set on multiunit auctions, which contains the actual demand schedules of the bidders as well as the auctionawards in over 400 Swedish Treasury auctions. First, we document that bidders vary their prices, bid dispersion, and the quantity demanded in response to increased uncertainty at the time of bidding. Second,we find that bid shading can be explained by a…

Asset Pricing under the Quadratic Class

We identify and characterize a class of term structure models where bond yields are quadratic functions of the state vector. We label this class the quadratic class and aim to lay a solid theoretical foundation for its future empirical application. We consider asset pricing in general and derivative pricing in particular under the quadratic class. We provide two general transform…
