Abstract. The concept of unreliable failure detectors for reliable distributed systems was introduced by Chandra and Toueg as a fine-grained means to add weak forms of synchrony i...
We introduce transactors, a fault-tolerant programming model for composing loosely-coupled distributed components running in an unreliable environment such as the internet into sy...
Collaboration plays a critical role when a team is striving for goals that are difficult to achieve by an individual. In previous work, we defined the ETAPP (Environment-TaskAgen...
This paper analytically studies retransmission-based partially reliable transport service. Results show that partially reliable transport service provides increasingly higher thro...
Consider a network of unreliable links, each of which comes with a certain price and reliability. Given a fixed budget, which links should be bought in order to maximize the syste...
