Realizability of Event Diagrams and Existence of Logical Clocks
摘要
This paper addresses the problem of the relationship between the correctness of the event diagram of distributed computing, from the standpoint of communication between the local processes of this computing, and the existence of a logical clock for that diagram. The problem is analyzed using the Coq Proof Assistant without assuming the fairness of the principle of excluded middle. That is, the obtained results are correct from the point of view of constructive logic, which is essential for computer science. The authors have formally proved that the existence of a logical clock for distributed computing ensures the irreflexivity of the causal relation related to that computing. They have also formulated the conjecture about the fairness of the converse statement.
