| Complex events in distributed applications are realistically modeled by nonatomic events. Causality relations between distributed nonatomic events have been proposed to provide a fine level of discrimination in the specification of causality and synchronization conditions between distributed nonatomic events. The set of relations between nonatomic events is complete in first-order predicate logic, using only the causality relation between atomic events. This paper shows how these fine-grained relations can be used for synchronization and coordination in distributed computations. |
