Exploiting replication in distributed systems

Ken Birman, Thomas Joseph • ACM eBooks (1990)

Techniques are examined for replicating data and execution in directly distributed systems: systems in which multiple processes interact directly with one another while continuously respecting constraints on their joint behavior. Directly d...

A performance study of monitoring and information services for distributed systems

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...

Fault Tolerance in Distributed Systems

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...

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...

Grid services for distributed system integration

Ian T Foster, Carl Kesselman, J.M. Nick, Steven John Tuecke • Computer (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...

Visualizing Distributed System Executions

Ivan Beschastnikh, Perry Liu, Albert Xing, Patty Wang et al. • ACM Transactions on Software Engineering and Methodology (2020)

Distributed systems pose unique challenges for software developers. Understanding the system’s communication topology and reasoning about concurrent activities of system hosts can be difficult. The standard approach, analyzing system logs, ...

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...

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...
