Abstract:

Abstract. Fairness in concurrent systems can be viewed as an abstraction that bridges low-level timing guarantees and make them available to programmers with a minimal loss of power and a maximal ease of use. We investigate the implementation and power of a range of fairness models that are appropriate to the synchronous, semi-synchronous and asynchronous contexts of various concurrent systems.
