Abstract
Event ordering in distributed system (DS) is disputable and proactive subject in DS particularly with the emergence of multimedia synchronization. According to the literature, different type of event ordering is used for different DS mode such as asynchronous or synchronous. Recently, there are several novel implementation of these types introduced to fulfill the demand for establishing a certain order according to a specific criterion in DS with lighter complexity.
Purpose - This paper demonstrates most significant implementation of types of event ordering in DS.
Designing, methodology, approach - This paper firstly, present each type separately. Then it presents its implementation approaches. The comparison between those types is achieved later in the paper.
Finding - Most types used in event ordering in DS share same properties with some delicate differences. However, some types which used for asynchronous mode cannot be used in the synchronous.
Value - This paper is considered as a reference for scholars how desire to direct their research; develop potential investigation; or introduce new type of event orderings in DS.
