This paper presents a reliable decentralized mutual exclusion algorithm for distributed systems in which processes communicate by asynchronous message passing. When any failure happens in system, the ...

Learn how to implement mutual exclusion in distributed systems using different algorithms, such as Lamport's, Ricart-Agrawala's, and token-based ones.

The problem of mutual exclusion has to be solved to prevent race condition and, as a result, prevent the possibility of a program producing an incorrect result. Providing deadlock-free distributed ...
