Graph Chatbot

Chattez avec Graph Search

Posez n’importe quelle question sur les cours, conférences, exercices, recherches, actualités, etc. de l’EPFL ou essayez les exemples de questions ci-dessous.

AVERTISSEMENT : Le chatbot Graph n'est pas programmé pour fournir des réponses explicites ou catégoriques à vos questions. Il transforme plutôt vos questions en demandes API qui sont distribuées aux différents services informatiques officiellement administrés par l'EPFL. Son but est uniquement de collecter et de recommander des références pertinentes à des contenus que vous pouvez explorer pour vous aider à répondre à vos questions.

Dynamic Group Communication

André Schiper

Group communication is the basic infrastructure for implementing fault-tolerant replicated servers. While group communication is well understood in the context of static systems (in which all processes are created at the start of the computation), current ...

A Step towards a New Generation of Group Communication Systems

André Schiper, Sergio Mena

In this paper, we propose a new architecture for group communication middleware. Current group communication systems share some common features, despite the big differences that exist among them. We first point out these common features by describing the m ...

Group communication based on standard interfaces

André Schiper, Matthias Wiesmann, Xavier Défago

While group communication system have been proposed for some time, they are still not used much in actual systems. We believe that one reason for this is the lack of standardisation of group communication system interfaces. The paper proposes an architectu ...

FRANC: A Lightweight Java Framework for Wireless Multihop Communication

André Schiper, David Cavin, Yoav Sasson

Simulation and emulation are popular means for evaluating wireless Mobile Ad hoc Networks (MANETs) protocols. Since MANETs are highly dependant on their physical environment, these techniques offer only a partial understanding of factors that may influence ...

From a Location Service to a Multicast Service for Wireless Mobile Adhoc Networks

André Schiper, David Cavin, Yoav Sasson

In this paper we propose a novel approach for multicasting in Mobile Ad-hoc Networks (MANETs). Since no fixed infrastructure of servers is assumed in MANETs, efficient location management schemes are necessary in order to store and provide information abou ...

From Set Membership to Group Membership: A Separation of Concerns

André Schiper

We revisit the well-known group membership problem, and show how it can be considered a special case of a simpler problem, the set membership problem. In the set membership problem, processes maintain a set whose elements are drawn from an arbitrary univer ...

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 ...

Solving Agreement Problems with Weak Ordering Oracles

André Schiper, David Cavin, Fernando Pedone

Agreement problems, such as consensus, atomic broadcast, and group membership, are central to the implementation of fault-tolerant distributed systems. Despite the diversity of algorithms that have been proposed for solving agreement problems in the past y ...

Performance Comparison Between the Paxos and Chandra-Toueg Consensus Algorithms

André Schiper

Protocols which solve agreement problems are essential building blocks for fault tolerant distributed applications. While many protocols have been published, little has been done to analyze their performance. This paper represents a starting point for such ...
