The Database State Machine Approach

Rachid Guerraoui, André Schiper, Fernando Pedone

Database replication protocols have historically been built on top of distributed database systems, and have consequently been designed and implemented using distributed transactional mechanisms, such as atomic commitment. We present the database state mac ...

The database state machine and group communication issues

Fernando Pedone

Distributed computing is reshaping the way people think about and do daily life activities. On-line ticket reservation, electronic commerce, and telebanking are examples of services that would be hardly imaginable without distributed computing. Nevertheles ...

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 ...

On Spatial Database Integration

Stefano Spaccapietra, Christine Parent

This paper investigates the problems that arise when application requirements command that autonomous spatial databases be integrated into a federated one. The paper focuses on the most critical issues raised by the integration of databases of different sc ...

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 a membership service to agree on a primary. Passive replication is a popular replic ...

Oligomerization of activated D- and L-guanosine mononucleotides on templates containing D- and L-deoxycytidylate residues

The oligomerization of activated D- and L- and racemic guanosine-5'-phosphoro-2-methylimidazole on short templates contg. D- and L-deoxycytidylate has been studied. Results obtained with D-oligo(dC)s as templates are similar to those previously reported fo ...

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 ...

Encapsulation de la Duplication dans le Service N2M

A well accepted technique to ensure reliability in a distributed system is to replicate every object which performs critical processing. However, it is not easy to achieve replication, i.e to enable a replicated object to communicate with other objects, ju ...
