  abstract =     "Shared memory is an attractive programming model for
                 designing parallel and distributed applications. In the
                 past decade, a popular research topic has been the
                 design of systems to provide the shared memory
                 abstraction on physically distributed memory machines.
                 This abstraction is commonly known as Distributed
                 Shared Memory (DSM). DSM has been implemented both in
                 software (e.g., to provide the shared memory
                 programming model on networks of workstations) and in
                 hardware (e.g., using cache consistency protocols to
                 support shared memory across physically distributed
                 main memories). This bibliography identifies the
                 results of research on DSM and related topics.",
  readme =       "Determining the most appropriate classification for
                 existing DSM research was a difficult task and placing
                 papers into a single category sometimes required making
                 seemingly arbitrary decisions. Each paper was placed
                 into the category which the author felt was most
                 relevant to the work described in that paper--the
                 author apologizes in advance to researchers who feel
                 that their work was incorrectly categorized or omitted
                 entirely. Feedback is greatly appreciated. \par The
                 author wishes to thank Professors Les Keedy of the
                 University of Ulm, Germany and John Carter of the
                 University of Utah for their valuable comments on the
                 presentation of this paper and for their help
                 identifying missing references in the original draft.
                 Professor Keedy provided the author with the full
                 citations and copies of a few of the missing
                 references. Professor Carter helped the author in
                 determining better classification of some references.",
