Peter Urban and Andre Schiper Comparing Distributed Consensus Algorithms Protocols that solve agreement problems are essential building blocks for fault tolerant distributed systems. While many protocols have been published, little has been done to analyze ...
This technical report describes the advancements on our research on collaborative annotations of maps. Particularly, we are trying to answer the following research question: does making explicit the location references of the elements of a discourse enhanc ...
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 ...
The communication shows an alternative for introducing soil-structure interaction in the analysis of cut-and-cover tunnels. An uncoupled method is illustrated through two examples representative of the situations found in practice. The main features of eac ...

Comparing the Performance of Two Consensus Algorithms with Centralized and Decentralized Communication Schemes Peter Urban and Andre Schiper Protocols that solve agreement problems are essential building blocks for fault tolerant distributed systems. While ...
In this paper, we study the problem of partial database replication. Numerous previous works have investigated database replication, however, most of them focus on full replication. We are here interested in genuine partial replication protocols, which req ...
This communication describes the multi-modal VidTIMIT database, which can be useful for research involving mono- or multi-modal speech recognition or person authentication. It is comprised of video and corresponding audio recordings of 43 volunteers, recit ...
Distributed systems are the basis of widespread computing facilities enabling many of our daily life activities. Telebanking, electronic commerce, online booking-reservation, and telecommunication are examples of common services that rely on distributed sy ...
The present communication is based on the research undertaken by the author and whose principal results are detailed in its thesis entitled « Choice of alternatives of road infrastructures : multicriteria methods » like on the prospects offered by this one ...
The Paxos part-time parliament protocol of Lamport provides a non trivial but very practical way to implement fault-tolerant deterministic services over a distributed message passing system. This paper deconstructs Paxos and modularly reconstructs more res ...
