This article is written in American English, which has its own spelling conventions (color, defense, traveled) and some terms that are used in it may be different or absent from other varieties of English. According to the relevant style guide, this should not be changed without broad consensus.

The introduction is biased. Clock synchronization is much older problem than computer science; for example, it led Einstein to some of his theories. The need to have synchronous clocks was a major problem for cartographers and navigators in determining longitude since the 15th century. This needs to be rewritten to reflect a much more general and older heritage Intersofia 12:49, 1 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

I don't think that the links for software sources for clock synching really belong here, the would be better placed in the article for NTP. --Androsyn 19:23, 4 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

New article needed

This should be a disambig pointing to two separate articles:

synchronization (computer science)
synchronization (relativity), with redirect from Einstein synchronization

In the latter topic, monitor for possible POV-pushing edits by User:Carl Hewitt (who has caused a huge amount of trouble in the past). ---CH 00:50, 18 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Added GPS mention

I added a mention of the GPS, which is copied from the GPS article along with it's reference. If anyone knows more about this, feel free to add.. Jimw338 (talk) 18:52, 27 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

External links modified

Hello fellow Wikipedians,

I have just added archive links to one external link on Clock synchronization. Please take a moment to review my edit. If necessary, add {{cbignore}} after the link to keep me from modifying it. Alternatively, you can add {{nobots|deny=InternetArchiveBot}} to keep me off the page altogether. I made the following changes:

Added archive http://web.archive.org/web/20110609015437/http://ieeexplore.ieee.org/xpls/abs_all.jsp?arnumber=1424575 to http://ieeexplore.ieee.org/xpls/abs_all.jsp?arnumber=1424575

When you have finished reviewing my changes, please set the checked parameter below to true or failed to let others know (documentation at {{Sourcecheck}}).
