This paper introduces the Sigma algorithm that solves fault-tolerant mutual exclusion problem in dynamic systems where the set of processes may be large and change dynamically, pr...
For economic reasons, a new trend in the development of distributed hard real-time systems is to rely on the use of CommercialO -The-Shelf cots hardware and operating systems. As...

As networks become all-pervasive the importance of efficient information gathering for purposes such as monitoring, fault diagnosis, and performance evaluation can only increase. E...
The idle computers on a local area, campus area, or even wide area network represent a significant computational resource--one that is, however, also unreliable, heterogeneous, an...
Abstract. A distributed system is fault-tolerant if it continues to perform correctly even when a subset of the processes becomes faulty. Faulttolerance is highly desirable but oft...
