We investigate a decentralised approach to committing transactions in a replicated database, under partial replication. Previous protocols either reexecute transactions entirely an...
—The number of CPUs in chip multiprocessors is growing at the Moore’s Law rate, due to continued technology advances. However, new technologies pose serious reliability challen...
Large-scale networks of mobile agents autonomously performing long-term sensing and communication tasks will be foreseeable in the near future. Since nodes in such a system commun...
This paper introduces the Sigma algorithm that solves fault-tolerant mutual exclusion problem in dynamic systems where the set of processes may be large and change dynamically, pr...
This paper addresses the issue of fault-tolerance in applications that make use of network storage. A network abstraction called the Network Storage Stack is presented, along with...
