An important problem in the ®eld of distributed systems is that of detecting the termination of a distributed computation. Distributed termination detection (DTD) is a dicult p...
Efficient determination of processing termination at barrier synchronization points can occupy an important role in the overall throughput of parallel and distributed computing sy...
In a distributed multiagent negotiation involving multiple issues, it is often desirable to finalize dealsonly whenall related issues are resolved. Wepresent a quiescence detectio...
Contrary to the sequential world, the processes involved in a distributed system do not necessarily know when a computation is globally finished. This paper investigates the proble...
