We introduce transactors, a fault-tolerant programming model for composing loosely-coupled distributed components running in an unreliable environment such as the internet into sy...
Distributed computation systems have become an important tool for scientific simulation, and a similarly distributed replica management system may be employed to increase the loc...
Development of portable network-aware applications demands an interface to the network that allows an application to obtain information about its execution environment. This paper...
