Semi-passive replication and Lazy Consensus

André Schiper, Xavier Défago

This paper presents two main contributions: semi-passive replication and Lazy Consensus. The former is a replication technique with parsimonious processing. It is based on the latter; a variant of Consensus allowing the lazy evaluation of proposed values. ...

Distributed programming with typed events

Rachid Guerraoui, Patrick Eugster

The remote-procedure-call abstraction, including its derivates (underlying, for example, Java RMI, CORBA, and .NET), currently represents one of the most popular paradigms for devising distributed applications. Objects (when acting as servers) are invoked ...

NASCENT: Network Layer Service for Vicinity Ad-hoc Groups

Jean-Pierre Hubaux, Jun Luo

Many envisioned applications of ad hoc networks involve only small-scale networks that we term Vicinity Ad-hoc Groups (VAGs). Distributed coordination services, instead of pairwise communications, are the primary requirements of VAGs. Existing designs for ...

Shared Memory vs Message Passing

Rachid Guerraoui

his paper determines the computational strenght of the shared memory abstraction (a register) emulated over a message passing system, and compares it with fundamental message passing abstractions like consensus and various forms of reliable broadcast. We i ...

Evaluating the performance of distributed agreement algorithms

Nowadays, networked computers are present in most aspects of everyday life. Moreover, essential parts of society come to depend on distributed systems formed of networked computers, thus making such systems secure and fault tolerant is a top priority. If t ...

Effective Multicast Programming in Large Scale Distributed Systems

Rachid Guerraoui, Patrick Eugster

Many distributed applications have a strong requirement for efficient dissemination of large amounts of information to widely spread consumers in large networks. These include applications in e-commerce and telecommunication. Publish/subscribe is considere ...

Using Optimistic Atomic Broadcast in Transaction Processing Systems

André Schiper, Matthias Wiesmann, Fernando Pedone

Atomic broadcast primitives are often proposed as a mechanism to allow fault-tolerant cooperation between sites in a distributed system. Unfortunately, the delay incurred before a message can be delivered makes it difficult to implement high performance, s ...

Making Consensus Practical

Rachid Guerraoui, Romain Boichat

This paper presents the abstraction of lazy consensus and argues for its use as an effective component for building distributed agreement protocols in practical asynchronous systems where processes and links can crash and recover. Lazy consensus looks like ...

Solving consensus

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 ...

Distributed Asynchronous Collections: Abstractions for Publish/Subscribe Interaction

Rachid Guerraoui, Patrick Eugster

Publish/subscribe is considered one of the most important interaction styles for the explosive market of enterprise application integration. Producers publish information on a software bus and consumers subscribe to the information they want to receive fro ...
