The processes of the distributed system considered in this paper use loosely synchronized clocks. The paper describes a method of taking checkpoints by such processes in a truly distributed manner, that is, in the absence of a global checkpoint coordinator. The constituent processes take checkpoints according to their own clocks at predetermined checkpoint instants. A global consistent set of s...
متن کاملDoes “Flattening the Curve” Affect Critical Care Services Delivery for COVID-19? A Global Health Perspective
During this coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) global pandemic, nations are taking bold measures to mitigate the spread of Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) infections in order to avoid the overwhelming its critical care facilities. While these “flattening the curve” initiatives are showing signs of impeding the potential surge in COVID-19 cases, it is not known whet...
متن کاملA Distributed Algorithm for Unstable Global Predicate Evaluation with Approximately Synchronized Clocks
The ability to evaluate predicates over the global state of a computation is fundamental to distributed application development and control. Algorithms structured on the use of approximately synchronized clocks, for which there is a known bound on the difference of the readings of any two clocks at the same instant of time, are able to detect the occurrence of certain predicates at a point in t...

متن کاملNudging by Shaming, Shaming by Nudging
In both developing and developed countries, health ministries closely examine use of so-called nudges to promote population health and welfare. Cass Sunstein and Richard Thaler, who developed the concept, define a nudge as “any aspect of the choice architecture that alters people’s behavior in a predictable way without forbidding any options or significantly changing their economic incentives. ...
