Quorum systems are a mechanism for obtaining fault-tolerance and efficient distributed systems. We consider geographic quorum systems; a geographic quorum system is a partition of...
—We suggest a method of controlling the access to a secure database via quorum systems. A quorum system is a collection of sets (quorums) every two of which have a nonempty inter...
This paper investigates the power mode management problem for an IEEE 802.11-based mobile ad hoc network (MANET) that allows mobile hosts to tune to the power-saving (PS) mode. The...
Quorum protocols offer several benefits when used to maintain replicated data but techniques for reducing overheads associated with them have not been explored in detail. It is d...
