Abstract
This chapter is devoted to the renaming problem. After having presented the problem, it describes three wait-free implementations of one-shot renaming objects. These implementations, which are all based on read/write registers, differ in their design principles, their cost, and the size of the new name space allowed to the processes. Finally, the chapter presents a long-lived renaming object based on registers stronger than read/write registers, namely test&set registers.
