Abstract. We describe a group membership protocol, called the timewheel group membership protocol, for a timed asynchronous distributed system. This protocol is a part of the timew...
We investigate whether asynchronous computational models and asynchronous algorithms can be considered for designing real-time distributed fault-tolerant systems. A priori, the lac...
Failure detectors (or, more accurately Failure Suspectors { FS) appear to be a fundamental service upon which to build fault-tolerant, distributed applications. This paper shows t...
This paper describes a group communication system called the timewheel group communication system that has been designed for a timed asynchronous distributed system model. The tim...
An important problem in the ®eld of distributed systems is that of detecting the termination of a distributed computation. Distributed termination detection (DTD) is a dicult p...
