Abstract
A method for assigning relative order to messages by using vector clocks under a distributed server environment is disclosed. The method includes the steps of: (a) a server assigning a vector clock to a message and storing the message to which the vector clock is assigned if the message required to be assigned relative order is acquired through a network; and (b) the server transmitting an increased vector clock to one or more other servers connected with itself through the network and supporting said other servers to update their vector clocks by referring to the increased vector clock.
