TL;DR: A general and unified classification of full decompositions is presented, formal definitions of different sorts of full-decompositions for Mealy and Moore machines are introduced and theorems about the existence of fulldecomPOSitions with the state and output behaviour realization are formulated and proved.
Abstract: The design of large logic systems leads to the practical problem how to decompose a complex system into a number of simpler subsystems. The decomposition theory of sequential machines tries to find answers to this problem for sequential machines. For many years, the "simpler" machine was defined as a machine with fewer states and, therefore, state-decompositions of sequential machines were considered. Together with the progress in LSI technology and the introduction of array logic into the design of sequential circuits a real need arose for decompositions not only on states of sequential machines but on inputs and outputs too, i.e. for full-decompositions. In this report, a general and unified classification of fulldecompositions is presented, formal definitions of different sorts of full-decompositions for Mealy and Moore machines are introduced and theorems about the existence of fulldecompositions with the state and output behaviour realization are formulated and proved. The presented theorems have a straightforward practical interpretation. Based on them, a set of algorithms has been developed and a system of programs has been made for computing the different sorts of decompositions.

TL;DR: This paper examines the algebraic structure of a system's actions and finds that these actions often possess a self-similar local neighborhood structure that permits analysis and synthesis to be performed locally yet produce global, intelligent behaviours.
Abstract: Artificial Intelligence focuses on the question of how to design system to exhibit intelligent behaviour in complex environments. Complex global behaviours can emerge from simple systems acting in a complex environment; however, this emergence requires that the systems' internal structure reflect essential structures in the environment. This paper examines the algebraic structure of a system's actions. We find that these actions often possess a self-similar local neighborhood structure that permits analysis and synthesis to be performed locally yet produce global, intelligent behaviours. A procedure for finding this local structure is presented, and illustrated with examples.

TL;DR: This paper suggests and compares several tie-breaking policies for deadline-based schedule algorithms on multiprocessor and identifies an effective tie- Breaking policy for different scheduling algorithm by simulation.
Abstract: Real-time scheduling on multiprocessor involves many complex issues. One of them is tie-breaking: the way how ties are broken among tasks with same priority. Unlike on uniprocessor, the feasibility of a task set on multiprocessor depends on a tie-breaking policy as well as on a scheduling algorithm. In this paper, we suggest and compare several tie-breaking policies for deadline-based schedule algorithms on multiprocessor. An effective tie-breaking policy for different scheduling algorithm is identified by simulation.
