If a groupware system is to be effectively used, especially over a wide-are network such as the Internet, where the quality of networking and computing resources are unpredictable...
The general approach to fault tolerance in uniprocessor systems is to maintain enough time redundancy in the schedule so that any task instance can be re-executed in presence of f...
Fault-tolerant (FT) distributed protocols (such as group membership, consensus, etc.) represent fundamental building blocks for many practical systems, e.g., the Google File System...
Distributed applications are often built from sets of distributed components that must be co-ordinated in order to achieve some global behaviour. The common approach is to use a c...
In this paper, a task parallel application is implemented with Ninf-G which is a GridRPC system, and experimented on, using the Grid testbed in Asia Pacific, for three months. The...
