Dependability issues is a requirement in most
application domains. We defined the dependability of
computer systems as:
Correctness, security and fault tolerance.
This is performed when in many cases, we are
interested in knowing whether an event (sending or
receiving a message) at one process occurred before,
after concurrently with another event at another
process.
Event ordering
In this type of Distributed System, the time to execute
each step pf a process has know lower and upper
bounds.
Synchronous Distributed Systems
Each computer in a distributed system has its own
internal clock, which can be used by local processes to
obtain the value of the current time. This concept
refers to the relative amount that a computer clock
differs from a perfect reference clock.
Clock drift rate
In this type of Distributed System, process execution
speed, this is that each step may take an arbitrarily
long time.
Asynchronous Distributed Systems
