Fault-tolerant protocols, asynchronous and synchronous alike, make stationary fault assumptions: only a fraction f of the total n nodes may fail. Whilst a synchronous protocol is ...

Synchronization in distributed systems is expensive because, in general, threads must stall to obtain a lock or to operate on volatile data. Transactional memory, on the other hand...
Synchronous languages rely on formal methods to ease the development of applications in an efficient and reusable way. Formal methods have been advocated as a means of increasing t...
Simulation and verification using electronic design automation (EDA) tools are key steps in the design process for communication and signal processing systems. The synchronous dat...
Unreliable failure detectors are a well known means to enrich asynchronous distributed systems with time-free semantics that allow to solve consensus in the presence of crash failu...
