I am co-teaching a graduate seminar on distributed systems.  I would like
to encorporate a lecture on the notion of time in a distributed system, but
I am woefully ignorant on the subject.  I would appreciate any and all
suggestions on what you thing should be covered, and especially any good
references.  At this point I intend to cover Jefferson's Virtual Time, and
protocols for maintaining clock synchronization (which ones?).

	Many thanks,
