Neiger, Gil and Sam Toueg, "Substituting for Real Time and Common Knowledge in Asynchronous Distributed Systems," Proceedings of the Sixth ACM Symposium on Principles of Distributed Computing, pages 281-293, Vancouver, British Columbia. A revised version appears as Cornell University Department of Computer Science Technical Report 86-790. The paper will appear in the Journal of the ACM. This paper details, among other things ways in which "common knowledge" may be simulated in asynchronous (and synchronous) message passing systems. II. D. R.
