Causal-Consistent Reversibility

Abstract

International audienceReversible computing allows one to execute programs both in the standard, forward direction, and backward, going back to past states. In a concurrent scenario, the correct notion of reversibility is causal-consistent reversibility: any action can be undone, provided that all its consequences (if any) are undone beforehand. In this paper we present an overview of the main approaches, results, and applications of causal-consistent reversibility
