Optimistic active replication

André Schiper

Replication is a powerful technique for increasing availability of a distributed service. Algorithms for replicating distributed services do however face a dilemma: they should be (1) efficient (low latency), while (2) ensuring consistency of the replicas, ...

X-ability: A Theory of Replication

Rachid Guerraoui

This paper presents x-ability (Exactly-once-ability): a correctness criteria for replicated services. X-ability provides the illusion that the actions executed by a replicated service are executed exactly-once, even if these actions have been actually exec ...

Understanding replication in databases and distributed systems

André Schiper, Matthias Wiesmann, Fernando Pedone

Replication is an area of interest to both distributed systems and databases. The solutions developed from these two perspectives are conceptually similar but differ in many aspects: model, assumptions, mechanisms, guarantees provided, and implementation. ...

Agreement-related problems

Xavier Défago

Agreement problems constitute a fundamental class of problems in the context of distributed systems. All agreement problems follow a common pattern: all processes must agree on some common decision, the nature of which depends on the specific problem. This ...

Database Replication Prototype

This report describes the design of a Replication Framework that facilitates the implementation and com-parison of database replication techniques. Furthermore, it discusses the implementation of a Database Replication Prototype and compares the performanc ...

Replicating CORBA Objects: a marriage between active and passive replication

André Schiper, Patrick Eugster, Xavier Défago

Replication is a key mechanism for developing fault-tolerant and highly available applications. In this paper, we present a replication framework for replicating CORBA objects, that combines the active and passive replication techniques. We show how we hav ...

Semi-Passive Replication

André Schiper, Xavier Défago, Nicoleta Sergent

This paper presents the semi-passive replication technique -- a variant of passive replication -- that can be implemented in the asynchronous system model without requiring agreement on a primary (usually done using a membership service). Passive replicati ...

Soft real-time analysis of asynchronous agreement algorithms using Petri nets

Nicoleta Sergent

A distributed algorithm comprises a collection of sequential-code entities, which are spread over different computers connected to a network. The process of designing a distributed algorithm is influenced by the assumptions we make on the computational env ...
