An axiomatic basis of trust in distributed systems

P. Venkat Rangan • IEEE Symposium on Security and Privacy (S&P) (2003)

He introduces basic notions about developing a logic or a theory, and shows that modal logics of belief, with their Kripe-style possible-worlds semantics, are appropriate for basing a theory of trust on. He reviews a modal logic of belief, ...

Policy hierarchies for distributed systems management

Jonathan Moffett, Morris S. Sloman • IEEE Journal on Selected Areas in Communications (1993)

Distributed system management, involves monitoring the activity of a system, making management decisions and performing control actions to modify the behavior of the system. Most of the research on management has concentrated on management ...

Power and Energy Profiling of Scientific Applications on Distributed Systems

Xizhou Feng, Rong Ge, Kirk W. Cameron • IEEE International Parallel and Distributed Processing Symposium (IPDPS) (2005)

Power consumption is a troublesome design constraint for emergent systems such as IBM's BlueGene /L. If current trends continue, future petaflop systems will require 100 megawatts of power to maintain high-performance. To address this probl...

FAULT-DIAGNOSIS IN FULLY DISTRIBUTED SYSTEMS

Jon G. Kuhl, Sudhakar M. Reddy • IEEE International Symposium on Fault-Tolerant Computing (2005)

The problem of diagnosis of failures, at the system level, in large, truly distributed networks of processing elements is considered. A model proposed earlier, in which nodes of the network perform tests upon certain neighboring nodes and p...

Detection of Mutual Inconsistency in Distributed Systems

D. Stott Parker, Gerald J. Popek, G. Rudisin, Alley Stoughton et al. • IEEE Transactions on Software Engineering (1983)

Many distributed systems are now being developed to provide users with convenient access to data via some kind of communications network. In many cases it is desirable to keep the system functioning even when it is partitioned by network fa...

The LOCUS Distributed System Architecture

Gerald J. Popek • The MIT Press eBooks (1986)

LOCUS, a distributed version of the popular operating system Unix, provides an excellent solution. It makes a collection of computers, whether they are workstations or mainframes, as easy to use as a single computer by providing a set of su...

Robust Probabilistic Inference in Distributed Systems

Mark A. Paskin, Carlos Guestrin • arXiv (Cornell University) (2012)

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 ...

How to assign votes in a distributed system

Héctor García-Molina, Daniel Barbará • Journal of the ACM (1985)

In a distributed system, one strategy for achieving mutual exclusion of groups of nodes without communication is to assign to each node a number of votes. Only a group with a majority of votes can execute the critical operations, and mutual...

GEM: a generalized event monitoring language for distributed systems

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...
