  They do, you're looking for reading around distributed systems topics. Lamport timestamps, a type of logical timestamp, are explained on Wikipedia [1]. You can use these to implement Vector Clocks [2]. I personally learned this by reading papers in undergrad and grad school as I researched in distributed systems, but I hear good things about Steen and Tanenbaum's Distributed Systems [3].
