Vector timestamps provide a way of recording the causal relationships between events in a distributed computation. We draw attention to a limitation of such timestamps when used t...
Temporal indeterminacy is an inherent problem which arises when capturing and manipulating temporal data in many application areas. As such, representation and manipulation of tim...
Event tracing and monitoring of parallel applications are difficult if each processor has its own unsynchronized clock. A survey is given on several strategies to generate a glob...
Many database applications need accountability and trace-ability that necessitate retaining previous database states. For a transaction-time database supporting this, the choice o...
