Storage as a Service (StaaS) is a vital component of cloud computing by offering the vision
of a virtually infinite pool of storage resources. It supports a variety of cloud-based data store …

State machine replication (SMR) is a well-known technique able to provide fault-tolerance.
SMR consists of sequencing client requests and executing them against replicas in the …

Standard state-machine replication involves consensus on a sequence of totally ordered
requests through, for example, the Paxos protocol. Such a sequential execution model is …

State machine replication (SMR) is a well-known technique that guarantees strong
consistency (ie, linearizability) to online services. In SMR, client commands are executed in …

Modern transactional processing systems need to be fast and scalable, but this means many
such systems settled for weak consistency models. It is however possible to achieve all of …

We present Archie, a high performance fault-tolerant transactional system. Archie complies
with the State Machine Approach, where the transactional state is fully replicated and total …

In this chapter we describe solutions for managing concurrency of distributed transactional
memory accesses in partially replicated deployments. A system is classified as partially …

Classic state machine replication (SMR) does not scale well, since each replica must
execute every command. To address this problem, several systems have investigated the …

This paper presents Atomic RMI, a distributed transactional memory framework that supports
the control flow model of execution. Atomic RMI extends Java RMI with distributed …

We present HiperTM, a high performance active replication protocol for fault-tolerant
distributed transactional memory. The active replication processing paradigm allows …
