As computational clusters increase in size, their mean-time-to-failure reduces. Typically checkpointing is used to minimize the loss of computation. Most checkpointing techniques, ...
Abstract--The Grid is an heterogeneous and dynamic environment which enables distributed computation. This makes it a technology prone to failures. Some related work uses replicati...
To maintain consistency, designers of replicated services have traditionally been forced to choose from either strong consistency guarantees or none at all. Realizing that a conti...
A cost-effective approach to building up scalable Videoon-Demand (VoD) servers is to couple a number of VoD servers together in a cluster. In this article, we study a crucial vide...
Recently the awareness of the importance of replicating studies has been growing in the empirical software engineering community. The results of any one study cannot simply be ext...
