The management of modern distributed systems is complicated by scale and dynamics. Scalable, decoupled communication establishes flexible, loosely coupled component relationships,...

Resiliency to link failures in optical networks is becoming increasingly important due to the increasing data rate in the fiber. Path protection schemes attempt to guarantee a bac...
We present a framework for transforming several quorum-based protocols so that they can dynamically adapt their failure threshold and server count, allowing them to be reconfigure...
We present the Caching-Enhanced Scalable Reliable Multicast (CESRM) protocol. CESRM augments the Scalable Reliable Multicast (SRM) protocol [4,5] with a caching-based expedited re...
Unanticipated runtime events, such as faults, can lead to missed deadlines in real-time systems. While it is not always possible to know when a fault will occur, we can sometimes ...
Firewalls are the mainstay of enterprise security and the most widely adopted technology for protecting private networks. An error in a firewall policy either creates security hole...
Some safety-critical distributed embedded systems may need to use centralized components to achieve certain dependability properties. The difficulty in combining centralized and d...
Abstract-We present a new form of quantitative safety analysis safety optimization. This method is a combination of fault tree analysis(FTA) and mathematical optimization technique...
