Total order broadcast is a fundamental communication primitive that plays a central role in bringing cheap software-based high availability to a wide array of services. This paper...

The costs of data loss and unavailability can be large, so businesses use many data protection techniques, such as remote mirroring, snapshots and backups, to guard against failur...

This paper considers the eventual leader election problem in asynchronous message-passing systems where an arbitrary number t of processes can crash (t < n, where n is the tota...
In previous work, it has been shown how to solve atomic broadcast by reduction to consensus on messages. While this solution is theoretically correct, it has its limitations in pr...
In the asynchronous distributed system model, consensus is obtained in one communication step if all processes propose the same value. Assuming f < n/3, this is regardless of t...
This work presents a failure data analysis campaign on Bluetooth Personal Area Networks (PANs) conducted on two kind of heterogeneous testbeds (working for more than one year). Th...
— We consider shared resource pool management taking into account per-application quality of service (QoS) requirements and server failures. Application QoS requirements are de...
Recent research has shown that even modern hard disks have complex failure modes that do not conform to “failstop” operation. Disks exhibit partial failures like block access ...

We present three algorithms for detecting the need for software rejuvenation by monitoring the changing values of a customer-affecting performance metric, such as response time. A...
