Abstract :
Unbounded and bounded designs of asynchronous unison systems are discussed. It is shown that both systems are stabilizing in the sense that their steady state behaviors do not depend on their initial states. The systems can therefore tolerate memory and reconfiguration faults that may yield them in arbitrary states. It is also shown that unison systems are useful in designing multiphase systems
