Abstract

The aim of this position paper is to promote the use of wait-free implementations for real-time shared objects. Such implementations allow the nonfaulty processes to progress despite the fact the other processes are slow, fast or have crashed. This is a noteworthy property for shared real-time objects. To assess its claim, the paper considers wait-free implementations of three objects: a renaming object, an efficient store/collect object, and a consensus object. On an other side, the paper can also be seen as an introductory survey, to wait-free protocols
