Compiler Transformations For Improving The Performance Of Software Transactional Memory - Mannarswamy, Sandya S
Expressing synchronization using traditional lock based primitives has been found to be both error-prone and restrictive. Hence there has been considerable research work to develop scalable and programmer-friendly alternatives to lock-based synchronization. Atomic sections have been proposed as a programming idiom for expressing synchronization at a higher-level of abstraction than locks.
One way of supporting atomic sections in software is to rely on an underlying Software Transactional Memory (STM) implementation. While STM offers the promise of being a programming paradigm which is less error-prone and more programmer friendly compared to traditional lock-based synchronization, it also needs to be competitive in...

Novel Mechanisms For Allocation Of Heterogeneous Items In Strategic Settings - Prakash, Gujar Sujit
Allocation of objects or resources to competing agents is a ubiquitous problem in the real world. For example, a federal government may wish to allocate different types of spectrum licenses to telecom service providers; a search engine has to assign different sponsored slots to the ads of advertisers; etc. The agents involved in such situations have private preferences over the allocations. The agents, being strategic, may manipulate the allocation procedure to get a favourable allocation. If the objects to be allocated are heterogeneous (rather than homogeneous), the problem becomes quite complex. The allocation problem becomes even more formidable in the...
