If you replace reindeer and elves with say, a manager waiting for N out of M sensors or web
services, then the reasons for and the techniques used to solve the Santa Claus problem
become more interesting. <br><br>At a personal level what I proved to myself is that with some internal changes that would maintain almost total backward compatibility, Stackless Python can readily solve these problems. For me, I am delighted when I see Dining Philophers solved in a handful of lines (just like in the paper).<br><br>> I've paged through the presentation, and while it looks interesting, like most sets of slides they aren't enough >on their own to understand.<br><br>>If you record yourself giving the presentation and upload it to<br>>youtube or something in not too high a quality, I'm happy to watch it<br>>and give feedback. As I am sure others would be.<br><br>I think a video of the talk was made. However it seems to be lost or misplaced.<span class="tab"></span> Please ask questions about what is unclear.<br><br>>I suggest you make your code publically available and post the link,<br>>so that people (in
general) can check it out on a whim so as to make<br>>it more easy to help out.<br><br>Yes let me do a few small things and make this so. <br><br>Once again, thanks for the feedback.<br><br>Cheers,<br>Andrew<br><br><br><br><br> </div> </div> </div></body></html>
