  • Abstract
    A token-based mutual exclusion algorithm is presented which uses data structures similar to coteries, called quorum agreements. The performance of the algorithm depends on the quorum agreements used. When a good quorum agreement is used, the overall performance of the algorithm compares favorably with the performance of other mutual exclusion algorithms
