Language run-time systems are often called upon to safely execute mutually distrustful tasks within the same runtime, protecting them from other tasks’ bugs or otherwise hostile...
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...
