Doug Terry • IEEE Transactions on Software Engineering
(1987)
Caching reduces the average cost of retrieving data by amortizing the lookup cost over several references to the data. Problems with maintaining strong cache consistency in a distributed system can be avoided by treating cached information ...

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...

Henri E. Bal, M. Frans Kaashoek, Andrew S. Tanenbaum • IEEE Transactions on Software Engineering
(1992)
A detailed description is given of the Orca language design and the design choices are discussed. Orca is intended for applications programmers rather than systems programmers. This is reflected in its design goals to provide a simple, easy...

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...

Hongyi Wang, Qingfeng Jing, Rishan Chen, Bingsheng He et al. (2014)
Cloud computing allows users to perform computation in a public cloud with a pricing scheme typically based on incurred resource consumption. While cloud comput-ing is often considered as merely a new application for classic distributed sys...

Ross Anderson (2001)
The world has changed radically since the first edition of this book was published in 2001. Spammers, virus writers, phishermen, money launderers, and spies now trade busily with each other in a lively online criminal economy and as they sp...

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...

Arup Abhinna Acharya, B. R. Badrinath (1991)
This paper presents an eflcient protocol to totally order the delivery of broadcast messages in a distributed system with N sites. The protocol exploits a symmetric communication scheme based on finite projective planes and requires N+2a me...

(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 ...

Existing fault-tolerant clock synchronization algorithms are compared and contrasted. These include the following: software synchronization algorithms, such as convergence-averaging, convergence-nonaveraging, and consistency algorithms, as ...

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...

S. Landis, Silvano Maffeis • Theory and Practice of Object Systems
(1997)
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-...

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...

The aim of this paper is to develop the concept of regional observability for distributed systems. This original concept is closer to practical considerations since it only requires the observation of the state on a given subregion. We show...
