An Energy Efficient and Accurate Slot Synchronization Scheme for Wireless Sensor Networks
Existing slotted channel access schemes in wireless networks assume that slot boundaries at all nodes are synchronized. In practice, relative clock drifts among nodes cause slot mi...

The Startup Problem in Fault-Tolerant Time-Triggered Communication
Fault-tolerant time-triggered communication relies on the synchronization of local clocks. The startup problem is the problem of reaching a sufficient degree of synchronization a...

Self-stabilization of Byzantine Protocols
Awareness of the need for robustness in distributed systems increases as distributed systems become integral parts of day-to-day systems. Self-stabilizing while tolerating ongoing ...

Monotonic Counters: A New Mechanism for Thread Synchronization
Only a handful of fundamental mechanisms for synchronizing the access of concurrent threads to shared memory are widely implemented and used. These include locks, condition variab...

Fault Injection based on a Partial View of the Global State of a Distributed System
Validating distributed systems is particularly difficult, since failures may occur due to a correlated occurrence of faults in different parts of the system. This paper describes ...
