Sentence examples for case of preemption from inspiring English sources

The task can be stopped in the case of preemption or after finishing its execution.

Nor will c count as a cause of e when c is a preempted potential cause of e in a typical case of preemption.

Preemption: One problem case for the probability view, on which the root idea of causation is that of making more likely, is the case of preemption (Good 1961 and 1962, Lewis 1986a, Menzies 1989b, Collins, Hall, and Paul 2004, Paul and Hall 2013 inter alia).

As we have seen, Lewis's counterfactual theory relies on the transitivity of causation to handle cases of preemption.

(Lewis distinguishes such cases of preemption from cases of symmetrical overdetermination in which two processes terminate in the effect, with neither process preempting the other. Lewis believes that these cases are not suitable test cases for a theory of causation since they do not elicit clear judgements).

This is a case of late preemption because the alternative process (Billy's throw) is cut short after the main process (Suzy's throw) has actually brought about the effect.

Another point in favour of the new theory is that it handles a type of preemption Lewis that have come to be called trumping.

In contrast, cases of late preemption are ones in which the process running from the preempted cause is cut short only after the main process has gone to completion and brought about the effect.

The other interesting point to observe is that for dynamic scenarios, due to frequent short interruptions, the preemption in case of failure service discipline enables the quick preemption of LP packets by HP packets.

Those results show that the novel priority discipline of preemption in case of failure for OSA networks can significantly improve the system time of HP packets in several deployment scenarios while having a lower implementation complexity than a full preemptive service discipline.

The four service disciplines are denoted in the figures as 'Non' (non-preemptive), 'ENo' (exceptional non-preemptive), 'Pr' (preemptive) and 'FP' (preemption in case of failure).
