Using decentralized control structures for robot control can offer a lot of advantages, such as less complexity, better fault tolerance and more flexibility. In this paper the ev...
Some safety-critical distributed embedded systems may need to use centralized components to achieve certain dependability properties. The difficulty in combining centralized and d...
: In a decentralised system the problems of fault tolerance, and in particular error recovery, vary greatly depending on the design assumptions. For example, in a distributed datab...
Assigning an application’s fault-tolerance properties (e.g., replication style, checkpointing frequency) statically, and in an arbitrary manner, can lead to the application not ...
New application scenarios, such as Internet-scale computations, nomadic networks and mobile systems, require decentralized, scalable and open infrastructures. The peerto-peer (P2P...
