Abstract:Causal reversibility blends reversibility and causality for concurrent
systems. It indicates that an action can be undone provided that all of its
consequences have been undone already, thus making it possible to bring the
system back to a past consistent state. Time reversibility is instead
considered in the field of stochastic processes, mostly for efficient analysis
purposes. A performance model based on a continuous-time Markov chain is time
reversible if its stochastic behavior remains the same when the d… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
