Resumen
At instant t, two or more sites could perceive different values for the same distributed object X. However, depending on the consistency protocol used, it might be expected that, after a while, every site in the system should see the same value for this object. In this paper, we present a formalization of the concept of convergence and analyze its relationships with several consistency models. Among other things, we claim that, by itself, sequential consistency is not a convergent protocol.
