Atomic Broadcast (where all processes deliver broadcast messages in the same order) is a very useful group communication primitive for building fault-tolerant distributed systems....
The paper presents and compares Appia and Cactus, two frameworks for protocol composition. The comparison is based on the experience gained in implementing a faulttolerant Atomic ...
Database replication protocols have historically been built on top of distributed database systems, and have consequently been designed and implemented using distributed transacti...
Modularity is a desirable property of complex software systems, since it simplifies code reuse, verification, maintenance, etc. However, the use of loosely coupled modules intro...
