Transparent system support for software fault tolerance reduces performance in general and precludes application-specific optimizations in particular. In contrast, explicit support...
Software architectures promote development focused on modular building blocks and their interconnections. Since architecture-level components often contain complex functionality, ...

Replication is crucial to achieve high availability distributed systems. However, non-determinism introduces consistency problems between replicas. Transactions are very well suite...
Large, complex and long-lived software need to be upgraded at runtime. Addition, removal and replacement of a software component are the elementary evolution operations that have ...
