Currently existing message logging protocols demonstrate a classic pessimistic vs. optimistic tradeoff. We show that the optimistic–pessimistic tradeoff is not inherent to the p...
Fault tolerance requirements for near term disk array storage systems are analyzed. The excellent reliability provided by RAID Level 5 data organization is seen to be insu cient f...
Interval availability is a dependability measure defined by the fraction of time during which a system is in operation over a finite observation period. The computation of its d...
Failure detectors (or, more accurately Failure Suspectors { FS) appear to be a fundamental service upon which to build fault-tolerant, distributed applications. This paper shows t...
This paper examines architectural techniques for providing concurrent error detection in self-timed VLSI pipelines. Signal pairs from Differential Cascode Voltage Switch Logic are...
