Abstract

Traditional treatments of knowledge in distributed systems have not been able to account for processors' limited computational resources. This paper presents definitions of resource-bounded knowledge, belief, and common knowledge that in a precise sense capture the behavior of resource-bounded processors. Subtle properties of the resulting notions are discussed, and they are successfully applied to two problems in distributed computing.
