Abstract

The problem of implementing self-stabilizing timestamps with bounded values is investigated and a solution is found which is applied to the l-exclusion problem and to the Multiwriter Atomic Register problem. Thus we get self-stabilizing solutions to these two well-known problems. A new type of weak timestamps is identified here, and some evidence is brought to show its usefulness.
