Token Ring
- non-deterministic - less overhead - collisions exist
Controlled-based media access control is based upon having a system in place for allowing one host to transmit at a time. It is also known as deterministic method since there is a process to determine which host transmits at a certain time. No collisions exist with this type of media access control. An example would be token ring where a token is passed from host to host and when it has the token it can transmit and others do not transmit at that time. Contention-based media access control is known as non-deterministic because hosts can transmit whenever they want. CSMA/CD is an example of this. Collisions do exist.

The cross product construction method is a way to create a deterministic finite automaton (DFA) by combining two DFAs. This method involves creating a new DFA whose states are pairs of states from the original DFAs, and transitions are determined by the transitions of the individual DFAs. By combining the states and transitions of the original DFAs, a new DFA can be constructed using the cross product construction method.
Deterministic and non-deterministic loops A deterministic loop is predictable. The number of iterations of such a loop are known in advance, even before the loop has started. Most counting loops are deterministic. Before they start, we can say how many times they will execute. A non-deterministic loop is not easily predicted. A loop that is driven by the response of a user is not deterministic, because we cannot predict the response of the user. Non-deterministic loops usually are controlled by a boolean and the number of iterations is not known in advance.
A deterministic algorithm is a step-by-step procedure that always produces the same output for a given input. It follows a predictable sequence of steps to solve a problem. On the other hand, a non-deterministic algorithm may produce different outputs for the same input due to randomness or non-deterministic choices made during its execution. This makes non-deterministic algorithms harder to predict and analyze compared to deterministic algorithms.
non-deterministic means not predicable, hence non-deterministic finalization means the finalization (removing objects from memory) cannot be determined when that will happen
