Hadoop has become an attractive platform for large-scale data analytics. In this paper, we identify a major performance bottleneck of Hadoop: its lack of ability to colocate relat...
Awareness of the need for robustness in distributed systems increases as distributed systems become an integral part of day-to-day systems. Tolerating Byzantine faults and possessi...
This paper describes a research project about robot control across a computing Grid, first step toward a Grid solution for generic process control. A computational Grid can signi...
We expect that in future commodity hardware will be used in safety critical applications. But the used commodity microprocessors will become less reliable because of decreasing fe...
Abstract. Dependable distributed applications require flexible infrastructure support for controlled redundancy, replication, and recovery of components and services. However, mos...
