In a distributed system, replication of components, such as objects, is a well known way of achieving availability. For increased availability, crashed and disconnected components...
Data consistency protocols are vital ingredients of mobile data management systems. Notable research efforts have been spent to find adequate consistency models for allowing mobi...
Abstract. We describe a group membership protocol, called the timewheel group membership protocol, for a timed asynchronous distributed system. This protocol is a part of the timew...
—Recent research in pervasive computing has shown that context-awareness and dynamic adaptation are fundamental requirements of mobile distributed applications. However, most app...
Abstract. Recently, there is an increase in the number of group communication applications which support multiple service groups of different access privileges. Traditional access...
