Most of the solutions proposed to support real-time (i.e. guaranteed performance) communication services in packet-switching networks adopt a connection-oriented and reservation-o...
The increasing number of Internet users has caused a dramatic increase in electronic commerce. This growth is outpacing technologies for dependability causing traditional views of...

For service applications on a network, measuring availability, performance, and quality of service is critical. Yet traditional software and hardware measures are both inadequate ...
Failures of any type are common in current datacenters, partly due to the higher scales of the data stored. As data scales up, its availability becomes more complex, while differe...

It is necessary to have the precise definition of available performance of high availability systems that can represent the availability and performability of the systems altogethe...
This paper discusses how to building high available storage systems on top of peer-to-peer infrastructure. We first demonstrate that traditional definitions of availability are not...

We consider the problem of increasing the availability of shared data in peer-to-peer (P2P) systems so that users can access any content, regardless of the current subset of onlin...

A number of studies have explored issues of interruption and availability in workplace environments, but few have examined how attitudes toward availability play out in home life....
