: Cluster systems gain more and more importance as a platform for parallel computing. In this area the power of the system is strongly coupled with the performance of the network, ...
Replication is widely used to improve fault tolerance in distributed and multi-agent systems. In this paper, we present a different point of view on replication in multi-agent syst...
Fault tolerance mechanisms are a key ingredient of dependable systems. In particular, software-implemented hardware fault tolerance (SIHFT) is gaining in popularity, because of its...
—Commercial backbone networks must continue to operate even when links and routers fail. Routing schemes such as OSPF, IS-IS, and MPLS reroute traffic, but they cannot guarantee...
