Héctor García-Molina, Daniel Barbará • Journal of the ACM
(1985)
In a distributed system, one strategy for achieving mutual exclusion of groups of nodes without communication is to assign to each node a number of votes. Only a group with a majority of votes can execute the critical operations, and mutual...

James R. Wilcox, Doug Woos, Pavel Panchekha, Zachary Tatlock et al. • ACM SIGPLAN Conference on Programming Language Design and Implementation (PLDI)
(2015)
Distributed systems are difficult to implement correctly because they must handle both concurrency and failures: machines may crash at arbitrary points and networks may reorder, drop, or duplicate packets. Further, their behavior is often t...

Gul Agha • DSpace@MIT (Massachusetts Institute of Technology)
(1986)
A foundational model of concurrency is developed in this thesis. It examines issues in the design of parallel systems and show why the actor model is suitable for exploiting large-scale parallelism. Concurrency in actors is constrained only...
