Abstract

Concurrent time stamping is at the heart of solutions to some of the most fundamental problems in distributed computing. Unfortunately, the only known implementation of a concurrent time stamp system has been theoretically unsatisfying, since it requires unbounded size time-stamps, in other words, unbounded memory. In this work, for the first time, a bounded implementation of a concurrent-time-stamp-system is presented. It provides a modular unbounded-to-bounded transformation of simple unbounded solutions.
