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 ...

An integrated experimental environment for distributed systems and networks

Brian White, Jay Lepreau, Leigh B. Stoller, Robert Ricci et al. • ACM SIGOPS Operating Systems Review (2002)

Three experimental environments traditionally support network and distributed systems research: network emulators, network simulators, and live networks. The continued use of multiple approaches highlights both the value and inadequacy of e...

Replica control in distributed systems

Calton Pu, Avraham Leff • ACM SIGMOD International Conference on Management of Data (SIGMOD) (1991)

Article Free Access Share on Replica control in distributed systems: as asynchronous approach Authors: Calton Pu Department of Computer Science, Columbia University, New York, NY Department of Computer Science, Columbia University, New York...

Experience with Grapevine: the growth of a distributed system

Michael D. Schroeder, Andrew D. Birrell, Roger M. Needham • ACM Transactions on Computer Systems (1984)

Grapevine is a distributed, replicated system that provides message delivery, naming, authentication, resource location, and access control services in an internet of computers.The system, described in a previous paper [1], was designed and...

An architecture for practical delegation in a distributed system

Morrie Gasser, Ellen McDermott • IEEE Computer Society Symposium on Research in Security and Privacy (1990)

A practical technique for delegation is described. It provides both cryptographic assurance that a delegation was authorized and authentication of the delegated systems, thereby allowing reliable access control as well as precise auditing o...

Monitoring distributed systems

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...

Authentication in distributed systems

Butler Lampson, Martı́n Abadi, Michael T. Burrows, Edward P. Wobber • ACM SIGOPS Operating Systems Review (1991)

We describe a theory of authentication and a system that implements it. Our theory is based on the notion of principal and a "speaks for" relation between principals. A simple principal either has a name or is a communication channel; a com...

Controlling chaos in distributed systems

Tad Hogg, Bernardo A. Huberman • IEEE Transactions on Systems Man and Cybernetics (1991)

A simple and robust procedure for freezing out chaotic behavior in systems composed of interacting agents making decisions based on imperfect and delayed information is described. It is based on a reward mechanism whereby the relative numbe...

A Behavioral Approach to Control of Distributed Systems

Harish K. Pillai, Shiva Shankar • SIAM Journal on Control and Optimization (1999)

This paper develops a theory of control for distributed systems (i.e., those defined by systems of constant coefficient partial differential operators) via the behavioral approach of Willems. The study here is algebraic in the sense that it...
