The complexity of reliable distributed storage

Ron Levy

Distributed storage systems based on commodity hardware have gained in popularity because they are cheaper, can be made more reliable and offer better scalability than centralized storage systems. However, implementing and managing such systems is more com ...

Efficient static analysis of XML paths and types

We present an algorithm to solve XPath decision problems under regular tree type constraints and show its use to statically type-check XPath queries. To this end, we prove the decidability of a logic with converse for finite ordered trees whose time comple ...

Reducing Time Complexity in RFID Systems

Gildas Avoine, Philippe Oechslin, Etienne Dysli

Radio frequency identification systems based on low-cost computing devices is the new plaything that every company would like to adopt. Its goal can be either to improve the productivity or to strengthen the security. Specific identification protocols base ...

How Fast Can a Very Robust Read Be?

Rachid Guerraoui, Marko Vukolic

This paper studies the time complexity of reading unauthenticated data from a distributed storage made of a set of failure-prone base objects. More specifically, we consider the abstraction of a robust read/write storage that provides wait-free access to u ...

The Inherent Price of Indulgence

Rachid Guerraoui, Partha Dutta

This paper presents a tight lower bound on the time complexity of indulgent consensus algorithms, i.e., consensus algorithms that use unreliable failure detectors. We state and prove our tight lower bound in the unifying framework of round-by-round fault d ...

Failure Location in Transparent Optical Networks: The Asymmetry Between False and Missing Alarms

Patrick Thiran, Xuan Hung Nguyen

Failure location in transparent optical networks is difficult because of the large amount of alarms that a failure can trigger and because of corrupted alarms. One problem that network operators often face is how to set the thresholds in monitoring devices ...

Robust Emulations of Shared Memory in a Crash-Recovery Model

Rachid Guerraoui, Ron Levy

A shared memory abstraction can be robustly emulated over an asynchronous message passing system where any process can fail by crashing and possibly recover (crash-recovery model), by having (a) the processes exchange messages to synchronize their read and ...

Lower Bounds on Generic Broadcast Algorithms

André Schiper, Fernando Pedone

This paper establishes tight lower bounds on the time complexity of algorithms solving the generic broadcast problem. Generic broadcast assumes a symmetric, non-reflexive conflict relation on the set of messages, and requires ordered delivery only for conf ...

Solving the fixed rank convex quadratic maximization in binary variables by a parallel zonotope construction algorithm

Thomas Liebling, Jean-Albert Ferrez

We address the weighted max-cut problem, or equivalently the problem of maximizing a quadratic form in n binary variables. If the underlying (symmetric) matrix is positive semidefinite of fixed rank d, then the problem can be reduced to searching the extre ...
