Peer-to-peer (P2P) has become a mainstream architecture in numerous diverse distributed
applications. However current P2P systems do not provide consistency guarantees under …

Efficient data distribution is critical to enable cost-effective performance and high availability
of data for applications or services. Many replication and allocation strategies were …

The time has come to consider wide-area architectures for pervasive sensing. Today's low-
cost PCs are deployed globally, connected to the Internet, and routinely have diverse …

In this paper we propose an eager update everywhere replication protocol, called MADIS-SI,
with constant interaction for a middleware architecture. It exchanges only one message per …

ADR (Atomic Delayed Replication) is a controllable replication manager implemented on top
of commercial distributed relational databases. ADR's goal is to enable various well-defined …

When the number of sites in a distributed database system increases to a large scale, how to
support high system performance, consistency, and availability arises as a problem. To …

File replication for uninterrupted availability is affected by the localised nature of network
failures, particularly in ubiquitous, mobile environments; nearby nodes often get …

Modern elastic computing systems allow applications to scale up and down automatically,
increasing capacity for workload spikes and ensuring cost savings during lulls in activity …

Use of group communication to support replication in database systems has proven to be an
attractive alternative to traditional replica control schemes. And various replica control …

Secret sharing and erasure coding based approaches have been used in distributed
storage systems to ensure confidentiality, integrity, and availability of critical information …
