Clock Synchronization in Distribued Distant Objects

Abstract

Clock synchronization in distributed system relies on an existence of external clocks for synchronization to occur. The messages are sent over a network. For distant objects, there can be a communication breakdown. The study aims to highlights the shortcomings of clock synchronization in related distant objects when there is breakdown in the communication links. Clock synchronization in distributed systems is briefly discussed with the shortcomings of each outlined. The proposed algorithm seeks to overcome these shortcomings in distant objects. The algorithm needs to be developed and tested further to ascertain its correctness. Development of such algorithm has not been accomplished in this study.
