“…Lamport [12] was the first to recognise two distinct temporal models of non-sequential computation, which he called linear time and branching time. He argued that linear time was better suited to concurrency, and the genre, to which our trace model belongs, has been used extensively since then (see, e.g., [2,13]). In the model, a computation comprises a given set of events 5 and its associated causal (partial) ordering.…”

The Doomsday distributed termination detection protocol

Distributed termination detection (DTD) algorithms are important since they detect globally stable states in distributed computations. Here we introduce a new DTD mechanism, the Doomsday protocol, together with its proof of correctness. Doomsday is generic since it forms the basis for a number of new and existing DTD algorithms for which the correctness proof may be reused. The paper describes the Doomsday protocol, provides its formal proof, derives one new DTD algorithm and shows how other hitherto unrelated algorithms, Dijkstra-Scholten, Task Balancing and Credit Recovery, can be derived from the protocol. The paper concludes by examining various properties of the protocol in the context of existing DTD algorithms.

“…10 The global Salafi jihadist movement based in the Sunni branch of Islam began to take shape only in the 1990s. 11 According to the 2014 and 2018 RAND reports, in 1988, there were just three Salafi jihadist groups, but by 2018, there were 67, spread across the planet. 12 While there are variations in Salafi practices, Walter generally identified the ideology of Salafi extremists with an armed jihad (religious war), the rejection of democracy, and the embracing of a very narrow and conservative version of Sharia.…”

Salafi (Islamist) extremism, embraced by organizations such as the Islamic State, is a global religion-invoking phenomenon whose primary cause is not clearly elucidated in the literature. Unlike most existing models or explanations of terrorism that attempt to explain stages or factors associated with the radicalization of individuals, this study aims to identify the dominant causal pathway behind the onset of Salafi extremism. The independent, dependent, and the variable associated with the causal pathway invoked here are public support levels for religious leaders as religious judges, the radical agenda they espouse, and the idea of Sharia as the law of the land, respectively. A linear regression analysis of the observational data from 20 nations reveals that the Sharia platform acts as both a causal mediator and moderator vis-à-vis the independent and dependent variables. This study suggests that the use of Kosovo as the control minimizes or eliminates confounding bias, and the high magnitude of computed coefficients of determination minimizes contribution of any omitted variable. Thus, the preliminary conclusion is that the belief in Sharia as the law of the land, as advocated by religious leaders, provides the basis for radicalization and the emergence of Salafi jihadist groups.

Salafi (Islamist) extremism, embraced by organizations such as the Islamic State, is a global phenomenon whose primary cause is not clearly elucidated in the literature. Unlike most existing models or explanations of terrorism that attempt to explain stages or factors associated with the radicalization of individuals, the proposed theory aims to identify the dominant causal pathway behind the onset of Salafi extremism. Kosovo was used as a control group to establish Saudi Arabia-originated Wahhabism's dominance as a radicalization source. The theory's independent, dependent, and causal variables are public support levels for religious leaders as religious judges, the radical agenda they espouse, and the idea of Sharia as the law of the land, respectively. For nearly 20 nations listed in the 2013 Pew survey report titled "The World's Muslims: Religion, Politics and Society," the computed coefficients of determination for the public support levels for religious leaders and a radical agenda, Sharia and religious leaders, and Sharia and a radical agenda, were 0.83, 0.85, and 0.86, respectively, using linear regression methodology. The belief in Sharia as the law of the land, as advocated by religious leaders, provides the basis for radicalization and the emergence of Salafi jihadist groups.

A note on consistency in asynchronous multicaches

Abstract: Summary. This note examines and contrasts the choice of finite versus infinite histories as the framework for analysing the behaviour of an asynchronous multicache scheme.
