Jeff Kramer, Jeff Magee, Morris S. Sloman • ACM SIGOPS European Workshop
(1992)
Distributed systems are constructed from a set of computational components which are bound together to interact and communicate to achieve some over all objective. In this paper, we examine the issues related to system configuration, partic...

Michael P. Polis, Raymond E. Goodson • Proceedings of the IEEE
(1976)
This paper surveys the distributed system parameter identification problem and concludes that it can be treated as a series of largely independent subproblems, each of which must be considered in any attempt to treat the problem in applicat...

David R. Cheriton • IEEE Software
(1984)
Developed to take advantage of the facilities of today's powerful personal workstations, the V kernel provides good system performance, not just good kernel performance....

X. Zhang, Jeffrey L. Freschl, Jennifer M. Schopf • ACM International Symposium on High-Performance Parallel and Distributed Computing (HPDC)
(2004)
Monitoring and information services form a key component of a distributed system, or Grid. A quantitative study of such services can aid in understanding the performance limitations, advise in the deployment of the monitoring system, and he...

Gérard Tel • Cambridge University Press eBooks
(2000)
The earlier parts of this book studied the coordinated behavior that can be achieved in distributed systems where processes are reliable . For several reasons it is attractive to study what coordinated behavior of processes is possible unde...

(2002)
Increasingly, computing addresses collaboration, data sharing, and interaction modes that involve distributed resources, resulting in an increased focus on the interconnection of systems both within and across enterprises. These evolutionar...

Masoud Mansouri-Samani, Morris S. Sloman • IEEE Network
(1993)
It is suggested that a functional model of monitoring in terms of the generation, processing, dissemination, and presentation of information can help determine the facilities needed to design and construct distributed systems. Implementatio...

Probabilistic inference problems arise naturally in distributed systems such as sensor networks and teams of mobile robots. Inference algorithms that use message passing are a natural fit for distributed systems, but they must be robust to ...

Masoud Mansouri-Samani, Morris S. Sloman • Distributed Systems Engineering
(1997)
Event-based monitoring is critical for managing and debugging networks and distributed systems. This paper presents GEM - an interpreted generalized event monitoring language. It allows high-level, abstract events to be specified in terms o...

Peter Michael Melliar-Smith, L.E. Moser, Vivek Agrawala • IEEE Transactions on Parallel and Distributed Systems
(1990)
An innovative approach is presented to the design of fault-tolerant distributed systems that avoids the several rounds of message exchange required by current protocols for consensus agreement. The approach is based on broadcast communicati...

Yichuan Jiang • IEEE Transactions on Parallel and Distributed Systems
(2015)
In past decades, significant attention has been devoted to the task allocation and load balancing in distributed systems. Although there have been some related surveys about this subject, each of which only made a very preliminary review on...

Byung-Gon Chun, Kamalika Chaudhuri, Hoeteck Wee, Marco Barreno et al. • ACM Symposium on Principles of Distributed Computing (PODC)
(2004)
We analyze replication of resources by server nodes that act selfishly, using a game-theoretic approach. We refer to this as the selfish caching problem. In our model, nodes incur either cost for replicating resources or cost for access to ...

For distributed systems at large and e-commerce systems in particular, ratings play an increasingly important role. Ratings confer reputation measures about sources. This paper reports our formalization of the rating process. This paper arg...

New classes of large-scale distributed applications will have to deal with unpredictable communication delays, with partial failures, and with networks that partition. In addition, sophisticated applications such as teleconferencing, video-...

James R. Wilcox, Doug Woos, Pavel Panchekha, Zachary Tatlock et al. • ACM SIGPLAN Conference on Programming Language Design and Implementation (PLDI)
(2015)
Distributed systems are difficult to implement correctly because they must handle both concurrency and failures: machines may crash at arbitrary points and networks may reorder, drop, or duplicate packets. Further, their behavior is often t...
