Abstract. Is it possible to treat large scale distributed systems as physical systems? The importance of that question stems from the fact that the behavior of many P2P systems is ...
In the Sprite environment, tolerating faults means recovering from them quickly. Our position is that performance and availability are the desired features of the typical locally-...
Abstract. We describe and model a new aspect in the design of distributed information systems. We build upon a previously described problem on the microlevel, which asks how quickl...
Distributed real-time and embedded (DRE) systems have stringent constraints on timeliness and other properties whose assurance is crucial to correct system behavior. Formal tools ...

Abstract—In distributed storage systems built using commodity hardware, it is necessary to store multiple replicas of every data chunk in order to ensure system reliability. In s...
