Having access to an accurate time is a vital building block in all networks; in wireless sensor
networks even more so, because wireless media access or data fusion may depend on it …

Synchronization to an external time source such as Coordinated Universal Time (UTC), ie,
external synchronization, while preserving tight synchronization among neighboring sensor …

A desirable flooding-based time synchronization protocol in Wireless Sensor Networks
(WSNs) should neither demand fast propagation of up-to-date time information nor keeping …

Over the last years, large-scale decentralized computer networks such as peer-to-peer and
mobile ad hoc networks have become increasingly prevalent. The topologies of many of …

We study the problem of clock synchronization in highly dynamic networks, where
communication links can appear or disappear at any time. The nodes in the network are …

Consider an arbitrary network of communicating modules on a chip, each requiring a local
signal telling it when to execute a computational step. There are three common solutions to …

Synchronizing clocks in distributed systems is well-understood, both in terms of fault-
tolerance in fully connected systems, and the optimal achievable local skew in general fault …

An emerging characteristic of modern computer systems is that it is becoming ever more
frequent that the amount of communication involved in a solution to a given problem is the …

Gradient clock synchronization (GCS) algorithms minimize the worst-case clock offset
between the nodes in a distributed network of diameter $ D $ and size $ n $. They achieve …

The growing complexity of microprocessors makes it infeasible to distribute a single clock
source over the whole processor with a small clock skew. Hence, chips are split into multiple …
