Quality-of-Service based assessment of synchronization algorithms

Abstract

In this report we present a Quality-of-Service based methodology to assess synchronization algorithms. The methodology comprises two steps: Firstly, synchrinization algorithms are analized based on a defined set of QoS parameters for synchronization algorithms. Secondly, the analysis results are evaluated. The assessment methodology is validated by applying it to two well-known algorithms. Analysis and evaluation results as well as the assessment of the two algorithms are equally presented in this report.
