Abstract
The Ricart-Agrawala protocol [1] is one of the classical solutions to mutual exclusion problem. Although, the protocol was invented, essentially, for failure free static distributed systems, it has been adapted by various researchers for almost all changing computing paradigms from classical to contemporary. The purpose of the article is to highlight the strength of the concept used in the Ricart-Agrawala protocol.
