The goal of this paper is to assess the value of simple features that are widely available in off-the-shelf CORBA and Java platforms for the implementation of faulttolerance mecha...
We define the "Pulse Synchronization" problem that requires nodes to achieve tight synchronization of regular pulse events, in the settings of distributed computing syste...
The design of safety-critical systems has typically adopted static techniques to simplify error detection and fault tolerance. However, economic pressure to reduce costs is exposi...
Fine-Grained Cycle Sharing (FGCS) systems aim at utilizing the large amount of idle computational resources available on the Internet. Such systems allow guest jobs to run on a ho...
