—In distributed computing systems (DCSs) where server nodes can fail permanently with nonzero probability, the system performance can be assessed by means of the service reliabil...
Designing a distributed fault tolerance algorithm requires careful analysis of both fault models and diagnosis strategies. A system will fail if there are too many active faults, ...
ectly-synchronized round-based model provides the powerful abstraction of op failures with atomic and synchronous message delivery. This abstraction makes distributed programming ...
Failure detectors are commonly viewed as abstractions for the synchronism present in distributed system models. However, investigations into the exact amount of synchronism encapsu...
Abstract. We study the problem of global predicate detection in presence of permanent and transient failures. We term the transient failures as small faults. We show that it is imp...
