[comp.os.research] References for Clock Synchronization in Not-Completely Connected Networks

pfluegl@copland.eng.uci.edu (Manfred J. Pfluegl) (05/31/91)

I posted a similar request in the comp.parallel newsgroup last week. 
I was informed that comp.theory and comp.os.research would most likely 
be more appropriate for a distributed system issue like clock synchronization.

The last year I studied clock synchronization in completely connected systems.
Now I am starting some research on clock synchronization in 
not-completely connected systems. The vast majority of the literature that I 
found made use of Byzantine agreement or authentication. Only a few papers
were concerned with clock synchronization w/o the use of Byzantine
agreement and authentication. Therefore, I would appreciate if someone could
give me hints on where to look or send me references of papers that deal w/
the above mentioned problem.

Any response is greatly appreciated. Please post or email.

Thanks in advance, Manfred
