The probability of failures in software distributed shared memory (SDSM) increases as the system size grows. This paper introduces a new, efficient message logging technique, call...
While inherent resource redundancies in distributed applications facilitate gracefully degradable services, methods to enhance their dependability may have subtle, yet significan...
