Abstract:
The law of contractual receivership has evolved quietly over a period of one hundred and fifty years or so. The institution of receivership started out as a mortgagee's remedy, but has proved remarkably adaptable to the commercial needs of large financial organisations, so much so that it has enjoyed ascendancy as a method of debt enforcement for the latter half of the twentieth century. This thesis attempts to chart the developmental process of receivership law, and to evaluate both judicial and legislative responses to the particular issues of policy it raises. In particular, it investigates

The problem of refugees is a global one that is of concern to all states. There are rising numbers of refugees that are forced to migrate from their homes in search of safety. How states respond to refugee situations is very important for the protection of refugee's rights. The international community has been able to draft some international conventions and treaties that provide for the protection of refugees. However, most are drafted in a manner that caters for individual determination and protection procedures. This is despite the fact that refugees enter countries in large groups most tim

Abstract:
A key challenge for modern computer science is the development of technologies that allow interacting computer systems, typically referred as agents, to coordinate their decisions whilst operating in an environment with minimal human intervention. By so doing, the decision making capabilities of each of these agents should be improved by making decisions that take into account what the remaining agents intend to do. Against this background, the focus of this thesis is to study and design new coordination algorithms capable of achieving this improved performance. In this line of work, there are
