This report presents a replica control protocol for atomic objects. The protocol is derived from
an atomic broadcast primitive, and places constraints on the delivery of messages to provide …

This paper presents the process-replication protocol of Manetho, a system whose goal is to
provide efficient, application-transparent fault tolerance to long-running distributed …

A number of techniques have been proposed for the construction of fault—tolerant
applications. One of these techniques is to replicate vital system resources so that if one …

This paper presents and proves correct a distributed algorithm that implements a
sequentially consistent collection of shared read/update objects. This algorithm is a …

The author presents an analysis of three object replication strategies based on reliable
multicast protocols. A multiclass queuing model is used for obtaining performance …

We present a simple fault-tolerant algorithm that ensures total order delivery of messages
sent to multiple groups of processes. It is based on one underlying block, namely, uniform …

Replication with update-anywhere capability while maintaining global synchronization and
isolation has long been thought impractical. Protocols have been proposed for distributed …

Atomic broadcast is a fundamental problem of distributed systems: It states that messages
must be delivered in the same order to their destination processes. This paper describes a …

Group communication is the basic infrastructure for implementing fault-tolerant replicated
servers. While group communication is well understood in the context of static groups (in …

Many distributed applications have a strong requirement for efficient dissemination of large
amounts of information to widely spread consumers in large networks. These include …
