CrystalBall: predicting and preventing inconsistencies in deployed distributed systems

Maysam Yabandeh, Nikola Knežević, Dejan Kostić, Viktor Kunčak • Infoscience (Ecole Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne) (2009)

We propose a new approach for developing and deploying distributed systems, in which nodes predict distributed consequences of their actions, and use this information to detect and avoid errors. Each node continuously runs a state explorati...

On the way to a distributed systems calculus

Markus Fidler, Jens Burkhard Schmitt • ACM SIGMETRICS Performance Evaluation Review (2006)

Network calculus is a min-plus system theory which facilitates the efficient derivation of performance bounds for networks of queues. It has successfully been applied to provide end-to-end quality of service guarantees for integrated and di...

Distributed systems

Jos Marlowe, Doug Lea, Malcolm Atkinson • Encyclopedia of Computer Science (2003)

Nearly all large software systems are necessarily distributed. For example, enterprise-wide business systems must support multiple users running common applications across different sites. A distributed system encompasses these applications...

On the controllability of distributed systems

J. L. Lions • Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences (1997)

To "control" a system is to make it behave (hopefully) according to our "wishes," in a way compatible with safety and ethics, at the least possible cost. The systems considered here are distributed-i.e., governed (modeled) by partial differ...

Failure detectors for large-scale distributed systems

Naohiro Hayashibara, Adel Cherif, Takeshi Katayama • IEEE Symposium on Reliable Distributed Systems (SRDS) (2003)

This paper discusses the problem of implementing a scalable failure detection service for grid systems. More specifically, traditional implementations of failure detectors are often tuned for running over local networks and fail to address ...
