Clusters and distributed systems offer fault tolerance and high performance through load sharing, and are thus attractive in real-time applications. When all computers are up and ...
Most fault-tolerant systems are designed to stop faulty programs before they write permanent data or communicate with other processes. This property (halt-on-failure) forms the co...
: We explore the abstraction of failure transparency in which the operating system provides the illusion of failure-free operation. To provide failure transparency, an operating sy...

We consider the problem of dependable computation with multiple inputs. The goal is to study when redundancy can help to achieve survivability and when it cannot. We use AND/OR gra...
Abstract. We introduce VSH, very smooth hash, a new S-bit hash function that is provably collision-resistant assuming the hardness of finding nontrivial modular square roots of ver...
