The following bibliography contains work related to "distributed time."
It is a compilation of recommendations from sixteen people who responded
to Tom Page's recent request for pointers, totalling twenty-eight papers.
Colin Plumb noted that the work generally falls into one of two categories:
abstract (Lamport clocks, etc.) and concrete (at the tone, the time ...).
This bibtex-format bibliography more or less follows the abstract vs concrete
division; it is based on an initial set of entries provided by Keith Marzullo.
