The paper considers the consensus problem in a partially synchronous system with Byzantine processes. In this context, the literature distinguishes authenticated Byzantine faults, where messages can be signed by the sending process (with the assumption tha ...
Transactional memory (TM) provides an intuitive and simple way of writing parallel programs. TMs execute parallel programs speculatively and deliver better performance than conventional lock based parallel programs. However, in certain scenarios when an ap ...
Resources in the Grid exhibit different availability properties and patterns over time, mainly due to their administrators’ policies for the Grid, and the different domains to which they belong, e.g. non-dedicated desktop Grids, on-demand systems, P2P syst ...
This paper presents a transactional framework for low-latency, high-performance, concurrent event processing in Java. At the heart of our framework lies Reflexes, a restricted programming model for highly responsive systems. A Reflex task is an event process ...

This paper presents a new algorithm for implementing a reconfigurable distributed shared memory in an asynchronous dynamic network. The algorithm guarantees atomic consistency (linearizability) in all executions in the presence of arbitrary crash failures ...
The paper considers the consensus problem in a partially synchronous system with Byzantine processes. In this context, the literature distinguishes (1) authenticated Byzantine faults, where messages can be signed by the sending process (with the assumption ...
This thesis is about the design of high-performance fault-tolerant computer systems. More specifically, it focuses on how to develop database systems that behave correctly and with good performance even in the event of failures. Both performance and depend ...
High-head storage hydropower plants operate their turbines during periods of high energy demand. The starting and stopping of turbines results in rapid fluctuations of discharge and water levels in rivers called hydropeaking, which are unfavourable from an ...
This paper presents a case study of different fault-tolerant architectures. The emphasis is on the silicon realization. A 128bit AES cryptographic core has been designed and fabricated as a main topology on which the fault-tolerant architectures have been ...
A Disruption-Tolerant Network (DTN) attempts to route packets between nodes that are temporarily connected. Difficulty in such networks is that nodes have no information about the network status and contact opportunities. The situation is different in publ ...
