Obstruction-Free Algorithms Can Be Practically Wait-Free
Abstract. The obstruction-free progress condition is weaker than previous nonblocking progress conditions such as lock-freedom and waitfreedom, and admits simpler implementations t...

Distributed Transactional Memory for Metric-Space Networks
Transactional Memory is a concurrent programming API in which concurrent threads synchronize via transactions (instead of locks). Although this model has mostly been studied in the...

What Can Be Implemented Anonymously?
Abstract. The vast majority of papers on distributed computing assume that processes are assigned unique identifiers before computation begins. But is this assumption necessary? W...

Distributed Computing with Imperfect Randomness
Randomness is a critical resource in many computational scenarios, enabling solutions where deterministic ones are elusive or even provably impossible. However, the randomized solu...
