IEEE Distributed Systems Online: Looking to the Future

In 2004, IEEE Distributed Systems Online becomes the IEEE's first online-only publication. The original material from our monthly issues will be in the Digital Library and our peer-reviewed, archived material, since our launch in 2000, will also be included. From the record of DSO Web site visits, we believe we serve the community well. We will keep to our present winning formula improving our ...

Fundamentals of Distributed Computing: A Practical Tour of Vector Clock Systems

to achieve a common goal. A main characteristic of these computations is that the processes do not already share a common global memory and that they communicate only by exchanging messages over a communication network. Moreover, message transfer delays are finite yet unpredictable. This computation model defines what is known as the asynchronous distributed system model, which includes systems...
