This study addresses the construction of a preset checking sequence that will not pose controllability (synchronization) and observability (undetectable output shift) problems whe...
This paper studies the problem of balancing the demand for content in a peer-to-peer network across heterogeneous peer nodes that hold replicas of the content. Previous decentraliz...
Group communication is the basic infrastructure for implementing fault-tolerant replicated servers. While group communication is well understood in the context of static systems (...
Abstract Many reliable distributed systems are consensusbased and typically operate under two modes: a fast normal mode in failure-free synchronous periods, and a slower recovery m...
This paper provides description and analysis of a new clock synchronization algorithm for synchronous and partially synchronous systems with unknown upper and lower bounds on delay...
