Loose coupling is often cited as a defining characteristic of service-oriented architectures. Interactions between services take place via messages in an asynchronous environment ...
We consider the randomized consensus protocol of Aspnes and Herlihy for achieving agreement among N asynchronous processes that communicate via read/write shared registers. The alg...

Formal methods can improve the development of systems with high quality requirements, since they usually o er a precise, nonambiguous speci cation language and allow rigorous veri ...
Structural changes, such as file creation and block allocation, have consistently been identified as file system performance problems in many user environments. We compare several...
The vulnerability of computer nodes due to component failures is a critical issue for cluster-based file systems. This paper studies the development and deployment of mirroring in...
