@article{lamport1990distributed, author = {Lamport, Leslie and Lynch, Nancy}, title = {Distributed Computing: Models and Methods}, year = {1990}, month = {August}, abstract = {Jan van Leeuwen asked me to write a chapter on distributed systems for this handbook. I realized that I wasn't familiar enough with the literature on distributed algorithms to write it by myself, so I asked Nancy Lynch to help. I also observed that there was no chapter on assertional verification of concurrent algorithms. (That was probably due to the handbook's geographical origins, since process algebra rules in Europe.) So I included a major section on proof methods. As I recall, I wrote most of the first three sections and Lynch wrote the fourth section on algorithms pretty much by herself.}, url = {http://approjects.co.za/?big=en-us/research/publication/distributed-computing-models-methods/}, pages = {1157-1199}, journal = {Handbook of Theoretical Computer Science, Volume B: Formal Models and Semantics, Jan van Leeuwen, editor, Elsevier}, }
