Abstract Halal Supply Chain Management requires an assurance that the entire process of
procurement, distribution, handling, and processing materials, spare parts, livestock, work-in …

Scalable Solid-State Drives (SSDs) have ushered in a transformative era in data storage
and accessibility, spanning both data centers and portable devices. However, the strides …

Starting in 2013, we set out to build a new database to act as the configuration master for a
high-performance cloud block storage system (Amazon EBS). This database needs to be not …

We introduce consistency-aware durability or Cad, a new approach to durability in
distributed storage that enables strong consistency while delivering high performance. We …

Rapid growth in data storage technologies created the modern data-driven world. Modern
workloads and application have influenced the evolution of storage devices from simple …

For latency-critical transactional applications, durability is often what limits performance.
That is, executing transactions is fast, but guaranteeing that they are durable is slow. As a …

Multi‐robot systems are widely used to handle complex and cooperative missions in various
industrial applications. Although robotic middleware has become the key to reducing the …

Distributed applications such as key-value stores and databases avoid frequent writes to
secondary storage devices to minimize performance degradation. They provide fault …

Authentication is the most critical gatekeeper to the web applications that scientists use to
carry out collaborative research. While authentication rarely fails, the impact of failures is …

This paper shows how to use bounded-time recovery (BTR) to defend distributed systems
against non-crash faults and attacks. Unlike many existing fault-tolerance techniques, BTR …
