On formulating simultaneity for studying parallelism and synchronization
Raymond E. Miller, Chee Keng Yap · 1978
When studying parallel computation and synchronization one is faced with the problem of modeling the simultaneous execution of processes. Although there has been a multitude of formal means for representing such problems [2, 6, 9, 10, 13, 14, 15], invariably, when all the other complexities of the models have been stripped away, the parallelism or synchronization is studied via sequences of events.
