This paper focuses on peer-to-peer storage systems that achieve availability through replication. We study the problem of resource allocation when the system must replicate multip...
In this paper, we investigate the roles of replication vs. repair to achieve durability in large-scale distributed storage systems. Specifically, we address the fundamental questio...
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 (...
Abstract. As grids typically consist of autonomously managed subsystems with strongly varying resources, fault-tolerance forms an important aspect of the scheduling process of appl...

Abstract. We present a formalism for modeling replication in a distributed system with concurrent users sharing information. It is based on actions, which represent operations requ...
