Traditionally, a bottleneck preventing the development of more intelligent systems was the
limited amount of data available. Nowadays, the total amount of information is almost …

Reliable systems require effective monitoring techniques for fault identification. System-level
diagnosis was originally proposed in the 1960s as a test-based approach to monitor and …

In this paper, we present a performance comparison of database replication techniques
based on total order broadcast. While the performance of total order broadcast-based …

Networking research often relies on simulation in order to test and evaluate new ideas. An
important requirement of this process is that results must be reproducible so that other …

Distributed computing is a very broad and active research area comprising fields such as
cluster computing, computational grids, desktop grids and peer-to-peer (P2P) systems …

Atomic broadcast primitives are often proposed as a mechanism to allow fault-tolerant
cooperation between sites in a distributed system. Unfortunately, the delay incurred before a …

This paper presents SPLAY, an integrated system that facilitates the design, deployment and
testing of largescale distributed applications. Unlike existing systems, SPLAY covers all …

Currently, researchers designing and implementing large-scale overlay services employ
disparate techniques at each stage in the production cycle: design, implementation …

A large number of peer processes are distributed in a peer-to-peer (P2P) overlay network. It
is difficult, maybe impossible for a peer to perceive the membership and location of every …

The experimental study of distributed systems and algorithms for large-scale internet
platforms typically requires simulation of compute and network resources. This paper …
