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-...
We present a stochastic Petri net model of a replicated file system in a distributed environment where replicated files reside on different hosts and a voting algorithm is used to...
Replication is a key strategy for improving locality, fault tolerance and availability in distributed systems. The paper focuses on distributed file systems and presents a system ...
