 <li> <H4>[CU6] Implementation of a Distributed Clock-Synchronisation Algorithm developed at NASA</H4>
   <p>
   <B>Description:</B>

+  describes a new algorithm for clocks that communicate by exchanging
+  messages and thereby reach a state in which (within some bound) all clocks are synchronised.
+  The point of this project is to implement this algorithm and simulate networks of clocks.
