Hi,

  Not so long ago, the Time Warp and Virtual Time concepts in handling
  deadlock avoidance, parallelism and even as a basis for an operating
  system were hot research topics.  Have they disappeared?  Lost favour?
  Or are the people involved real busy?  David Jefferson (et al) was one
  of the main researchers.  I'd appreciate hearing from anyone with any
  recent info in this field.

Thankyou,
