In a distributed system with N processes, time stamps of size N (such as vector clocks) are necessary to accurately track potential causality between events. Plausible clocks are a...
A protocol for assuring the authenticity of information broadcasted over long periods of time is proposed. The protocol is based on time synchronization and uses one-way chains con...
Real stochastic processes operating in continuous time can be modeled by sets of stochastic differential equations. On the other hand, several popular model families, including hi...
