The paper "Consensus-based lock-free asynchronous three-buffer Communication" was written
in German.

You can look at CiteSeer or at the document
"http://www.cs.york.ac.uk/ftpdir/reports/YCS-97-295.ps.Z".
I hope that it adds not so much "confusion" after that you understand the key idea of this

I guess that it would be easier if a free library implementation would be available for it
to integrate such non-blocking techniques into the management of work queues and thread
pools.
