Abstract Until now, the analysis of fault tolerance of peerto-peer systems usually only covers random faults of some kind. Contrary to traditional algorithmic research, faults as w...
This paper determines necessary and sufficient conditions to implement wait-free and non-blocking contention managers in a shared memory system. The necessary conditions hold even...
We consider the problem of how to schedule t similar and independent tasks to be performed in a synchronous distributed system of p stations communicating via multiple-access chan...
