There are a number of classic papers on time and distributed systems
written by Leslie Lamport.  He has also co-authored several papers with
Mani Chandy.  The following is a favorite introductory paper on the topic
and should be required of any graduate course on the topic:

Lamport, L., "Time, Clocks, and the Ordering of Events in a Distributed
System," CACM, July 1978, Vol. 21, No. 7.
