To implement adaptive replication strategies for Web documents, we have developed a wide area resource management system. This system allows servers to be managed on a local and g...
Abstract. Distributed cooperative applications (e.g., e-commerce) are now increasingly being designed as a set of autonomous entities, named agents, which interact and coordinate (...
Quorum protocols offer several benefits when used to maintain replicated data but techniques for reducing overheads associated with them have not been explored in detail. It is d...
