Current high-end parallel systems achieve low-latency, highbandwidth network communication through the use of aggressive design techniques and expensive mechanical and electrical ...
In this chapter, we discuss a widely used fault-tolerant data replication model called virtual synchrony. The model responds to two kinds of needs. First, there is the practical qu...
Consider a dynamic, large-scale communication infrastructure (e.g., the Internet) where nodes (e.g., in a peer to peer system) can communicate only with nodes whose id (e.g., IP a...
