This paper discusses differences in the semantics of various semaphore implementations and their ramifications in developing solutions to synchronization problems. An approach is ...
Balancing networks are highly distributed data structures used to solve multiprocessor synchronization problems. Typically, balancing networks are accessed by tokens, and the distr...

The development of correct synchronization code for distributed programs is a challenging task. In this paper, we propose an aspect oriented technique for developing synchronizati...
This paper describes two design patterns that are powerful tools to help teach how semaphores are used to solve synchronization problems. The patterns are general enough to be use...
— Given two versions of a file, a current version located on one machine and an outdated version known only to another machine, the remote file synchronization problem is how t...
