Abstract:The causal order in distributed asynchronous systems is a valuable and useful concept to implement distributed algorithms. In particular, causal broadcasts have been used to solve-many well-known distributed problems (as replication using a token-passing mechanism), ttowever, the implementation of a general causal message system (where every message and broadcast respects the causal order) is complicated and involves a hard protocol to ensure delivery order. Ou the other hand only a few applications really nee… 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.
