Abstract—Replication is a well-established approach to increasing database availability. Many database replication protocols have been proposed for the crash-stop failure model, ...
RPC is one of the programming models envisioned for the Grid. In Internet connected Large Scale Grids such as Desktop Grids, nodes and networks failures are not rare events. This ...
We propose group communication as an efficient mechanism to support fault tolerance. Our approach is based on an efficient reliable broadcast protocol that requires on average onl...
We present an efficient authenticated and fault-tolerant protocol (AFTD) for tree-based key agreement. Our approach is driven by the insight that when a Diffie-Hellman blinded key ...
— Large Clusters, high availability clusters and Grid deployments often suffer from network, node or operating system faults and thus require the use of fault tolerant programmin...
