kaasajastamine
Kaasajastamine is the Estonian term for the practice of aligning time references and coordinating the timing of multiple systems or processes to enable synchronized operation. It encompasses clock synchronization, time stamping, scheduling, and latency management across distributed environments, with applications in information technology, telecommunications, and industrial automation.
The word is formed from kaasa- meaning together or jointly, and ajastamine meaning timing or scheduling. In
Applications of kaasajastamine span several domains. In distributed computing and data storage, synchronized clocks ensure correct
Key methods and technologies include the use of external time sources such as GPS/GNSS and atomic clocks,
Common challenges include network latency asymmetry, clock drift, jitter, scalability, and security vulnerabilities in time protocols.
