Peer-to-peer storage aims to build large-scale, reliable and available storage from many small-scale unreliable, low-availability distributed hosts. Data redundancy is the key to ...
The perfectly synchronized round model provides the abstraction of crash-stop failures with atomic message delivery. This abstraction makes distributed programming very easy. We p...
