Group communications and database replication

Matthias Wiesmann

Databases are an important part of today's IT infrastructure: both companies and state institutions rely on database systems to store most of their important data. As we are more and more dependent on database systems, securing this key facility is now a p ...

Algorithms for Location-Independent Communication between Mobile Agents

We study the distributed infrastructures required for location-independent communication between mobile agents. These infrastructures are problematic: different applications may have very different patterns of migration and communication, and require diffe ...

Using Optimistic Atomic Broadcast in Transaction Processing Systems

André Schiper, Matthias Wiesmann, Fernando Pedone

Atomic broadcast primitives are often proposed as a mechanism to allow fault-tolerant cooperation between sites in a distributed system. Unfortunately, the delay incurred before a message can be delivered makes it difficult to implement high performance, s ...

Gridella: A self-organizing P2P system

Karl Aberer, Manfred Hauswirth, Roman Schmidt

This paper describes our Gnutella compatible P2P system Gridella which is based on the P-Grid approach. P-Grid has several advantages over the standard Gnutella infrastructure, for example, that probabilistic estimates can be given for successful search re ...

Quantifying the Performance Differences Between PVM and TreadMarks

Willy Zwaenepoel, Sandhya Dwarkadas

We compare two systems for parallel programming on networks of workstations: Parallel Virtual Machine (PVM) a message passing system, and TreadMarks, a software distributed shared memory (DSM) system. We present results for eight applications that were imp ...

SMART: A Many-to-Many Multicast Protocol for ATM

Jean-Yves Le Boudec

We present a protocol for controlling a shared ATM multicast tree supporting many-to-many communication. The protocol supports one or several ATM VCCs of the many-to-many type. The number of VCCs is independent of the number of endpoints. The protocol guar ...
