A multiprocessing system that shares objects among a group of processes without centralized control of the objects may be accomplished by using a causal time stamp (706) for conveyance of information between members of group of processes. When a process receives an object request (408) from another process, wherein the objects request (408) includes identity (394, 396, 398) of the process requesting the object, a request causal time stamp (708), and the objects being requested, the receiving process updates its current causal time stamp and grant causal list. |
