Byzantine-fault-tolerant service protocols like Q/U and FaB Paxos that optimistically order requests can provide increased efficiency and fault scalability. However, these protocol...
In this paper we present 411, a password distribution system for high performance environments that provides security and scalability. We show that existing solutions such as NIS ...

Traditional agreement-based Byzantine fault-tolerant (BFT) systems process all requests on all replicas to ensure consistency. In addition to the overhead for BFT protocol and sta...
Mobile agents offer a new possibility for the development of applications in distributed systems and are no longer a theoretical issue since different architectures for their impl...
