Supporting uninterrupted services for distributed soft real-time applications is hard in resource-constrained and dynamic environments, where processor or process failures and sys...
Most Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA) systems have been in operation for decades and they in general have 24x7 availability requirement, hence upgrading or adding ...
We consider the problem of ensuring high data availability in federated content sharing systems. Ideally, such a system would provide high data availability in a device transparen...

This paper discusses the implementation and performance of bounded voting: a new object replication protocol designed for use in mobile and weakly-connected environments. We show ...
We describe our work in implementing a wide-area distributed file system for the NSF TeraGrid. The system, called XUFS, allows private distributed name spaces to be created for tr...
