Optimistic distributed systems often rely on version vectors or their variants in order to track updates on replicated objects. Some of these mechanisms rely on some form of global...
This paper presents an approach to maintaining consistency of object versions in multiversion database systems. In this approach a multiversion database is considered to be a set ...
We discuss the availability questions that arise when digital time stamps are used for preserving the evidentiary value of electronic documents. We analyze the time-stamping protoc...
Most work to date in parallel and distributed discrete event simulation is based on assigning precise time stamps to events, and time stamp order event processing. An alternative ...
Abstract. Version vectors play a central role in update tracking under optimistic distributed systems, allowing the detection of obsolete or inconsistent versions of replicated dat...
