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...
The growing reliance of networked applications on timely and reliable data transfer requires the underlying networking infrastructure to provide adequate services even in the pres...
Hard disk drive failures are rare but are often costly. The ability to predict failures is important to consumers, drive manufacturers, and computer system manufacturers alike. In...
In traditional fixed-wired networks, standard protocols like 2-Phase-Commit are used to guarantee atomicity for distributed transactions. However, within mobile networks, a highe...
New telecommunication services and mobility networks have introduced databases in telecommunication networks. Compared with traditional use of databases, telecom databases must fu...
