Linked data structure (LDS) accesses are critical to the performance of many large scale applications. Techniques have been proposed to prefetch such accesses. Unfortunately, many...
— This paper presents Pirrus, a replica management system that addresses the problem of providing data availability on a wireless sensor network. Pirrus uses probabilistic failur...
Crash dump, or core dump is the typical way to save memory image on system crash for future offline debugging and analysis. However, for typical server machines with likely abund...
The primary-backup replication model is one of the commonly adopted approaches to providing fault tolerant data services. Its extension to the real-time environment, however, impo...
