In [Dij74] Dijkstra introduced the notion of self-stabilizing algorithms, and presented three such algorithms for the problem of mutual exclusion on a ring of processors. The thir...
This paper introduces the Sigma algorithm that solves fault-tolerant mutual exclusion problem in dynamic systems where the set of processes may be large and change dynamically, pr...
k-mutual exclusion is an important problem for resourceintensive peer-to-peer applications ranging from aggregation to file downloads. In order to be practically useful, k-mutual...
The group mutual exclusion problem extends the traditional mutual exclusion problem by associating a type with each critical section. In this problem, processes requesting critica...
In this paper, we evaluated various distributed mutual exclusion algorithms on the IBM SP2 machine and the Intel iPSC/860 system. The empirical results are compared in terms of su...
