The paper addresses the problem of client–service interaction in the case of replicated service provision. Existing systems that follow the State Machine approach concentrate on...
No cache based techniques for roll-forward fault recovery exist at present. A split-cache approach is proposed that provides e cient support for checkpointing and roll-forward fau...
An approach to problem analysis is described, based on the notion of a problem frame. Problem frames are intended to capture classes of recognisable and soluble problems. Because ...
Design of practical routing protocols is complex and dificult due to complicated requirements of faulttolerance and flexibility. The protocol is defined to be fault-tolerant if me...
Software architectures can play a role in improving the testing process of complex systems. In particular, descriptions of the software architecture can be useful to drive integra...
