In this paper we explore the minimal system requirements to implement unreliable failure detectors. We first consider systems formed by lossy asynchronous and eventually timely l...
Studies have shown that device drivers and extensions contain 3–7 times more bugs than other operating system code and thus are more likely to fail. Therefore, we present a fail...

We consider the problem of computing the optimal swap edges of a shortest-path tree. This theoretical problem arises in practice in systems that offer point-offailure shortest-path...

Reliable delivery of messages is an important problem that needs to be addressed in distributed systems. In this paper we present our strategy to enable reliable delivery of messa...
Maintaining mobile agent availability in the presence of agent server crashes is a challenging issue since developers normally have no control over remote agent servers. A popular...
