Abstract
In systems of asynchronous processes using messagelists with SEND–RECEIVE primitives for interprocess communication recovery primitives are defined to perform state restoration: MARK saves a particular point in the execution of the program; RESTORE resets the system state to an earlier point (saved by MARK); and PURGE discards redundant information when it is no longer needed for possible state restoration.
