Abstract

Communication between parallel processes may take place in synchronous or asynchronous form. The former has widely been used in various concepts. In contrast, means for asynchronous process relations exist only in a few systems in rudimentary form. In this paper the concept of asynchronization is developed systematically. The underlying data structures as well as operations upon them are defined for various versions.
