This paper describes an experiment performed on Wide Area Network to assess and fairly compare the Quality of Service provided by a large family of failure detectors. Failure dete...
Abstract. The performance of consensus and atomic broadcast algorithms using failure detectors is often affected by a trade-off between the number of communication steps and the ...
Wide-area distributed systems like computational grids are emergent infrastructures for high-performance parallel applications. On these systems, communication mechanisms have to ...
Many of today’s military services and applications run on geographically distributed sites and need to be tested and evaluated under realistic scenarios with many unpredictable ...
We describe the implementation and experimental evaluation of a fault-tolerant leader election service for dynamic systems. Intuitively, distributed applications can use this serv...
