A quorum system is a collection of sets (quorums) every two of which intersect. Quorum systems have been used for many applications in the area of distributed systems, including mu...
Ensuring the consistency and the availability of replicated data in highly mobile ad hoc networks is a challenging task because of the lack of a backbone infrastructure. Previous ...
This paper presents robust emulation of multi-writer/multi-reader registers in message-passing systems using dynamic quorum con gurations. In addition to processor and link failur...
This paper presents Timed Quorum System (TQS), a quorum system for large-scale and dynamic systems. TQS provides guarantees that two quorums, accessed at instances of time that are...
Providing shared-memory abstraction in messagepassing systems often simplifies the development of distributed algorithms and allows for the reuse of sharedmemory algorithms in the...

We investigate issues related to the probe complexity of quorum systems and their implementation in a dynamic environment. Our contribution is twofold. The first regards the algo...
This paper investigates the power mode management problem for an IEEE 802.11-based mobile ad hoc network (MANET) that allows mobile hosts to tune to the power-saving (PS) mode. The...
Abstract With n servers that independently fail with probability of p < 0.5, it is well known that the majority quorum system achieves the best availability among all quorum sys...
