Yikes, you are right!  I just checked my copy and found out that asynchronous
systems are discussed on page 409.  The book has only 381 pages!!!  I never
used the index before since I read the book completely.
   But the problem is known to the authors.  There is a Webpage dedicated to
this book: www.cs.york.ac.uk/~burns/CIA.html which contains an errata section
describing the problem: www.cs.york.ac.uk/~burns/CIAerrata.html
This page also contains a corrected (Burns & Wellings claim) index (as a
PostScript-File).  I briefly checked it; it seems to be OK.


   Thanks for the notification.
