Abstract
Synchronized clocks areinteresting because they can be used to improve performance of a distributed system by reducing communication. Since they have only recently become a reality in distributed systems, their use in distributed algorithms has received relatively little attention. This paper discusses a number of dktributed algorithms that make use of synchronized clocks and analyzes how clocks are used in these algorithms.Keywords
