For QAS we have a term and definition in SCSI.

QAS (SCSI)

Quick Arbitration and Selection, an optional method of arbitration defined in SCSI-3, is designed to eliminate overhead and speed up data transfers on the SCSI bus by skipping over the bus free phase. A device with QAS will arbitrate for the bus immediately after the last device on the bus sends a disconnect instead of waiting for the bus free phase that normally occurs after a disconnect. Included in QAS is the need for SCSI "fairness" (Refer to SPI-3, Annex B) which prevents fast devices with a higher priority from "hogging" the bus and preventing devices with a lower priority from gaining control of the bus. QAS is negotiated in the arbitration phase.
