Abstract

The article discusses the algorithm in the form of abstract structure with a common database. The basic idea that could lead to this algorithm includes the reply massage sent by a node, the reception of a request massage, the interval node, and the non-consulting node. Each node implements an identical algorithm and uses two processes to enforce it. One of the processes uses the critical resource and it is known as the Request-Resource or the Release-Resource procedures. The other one deals with the received massages and it is known as the procedure Treat-Request-Massage or Treat-Release-Massage.
