Nested Transactions: An Approach to Reliable Distributed Computing

by J. Eliot B. Moss , 1981
"... Distributed computing systems are being built and used more and more frequently. This distributod computing revolution makes the reliability of distributed systems an important concern. It is fairly well-understood how to connect hardware so that most components can continue to work when others are ..."

The process group approach to reliable distributed computing

by Kenneth P. Birman - Communications of the ACM , 1993
"... The difficulty of developing reliable distributed softwme is an impediment to applying distributed computing technology in many settings. Expeti _ with the Isis system suggests that a structured approach based on virtually synchronous _ groups yields systems that are substantially easier to develop, ..."

A Digital Fountain Approach to Reliable Distribution of Bulk Data

by Michael Luby, et al. , 1998
"... The proliferation of applications that must reliably distribute bulk data to a large number of autonomous clients motivates the design of new multicast and broadcast protocols. We describe an ideal, fully scalable protocol for these applications that we call a digital fountain. A digital fountain a ..."

The Object-Oriented Database System Manifesto

by Malcolm Atkinson, François Bancilhon, David DeWitt, Klaus Dittrich, David Maier, Stanley Zdonik , 1989
"... This paper attempts to define an object-oriented database system. It describes the main features and characteristics that a system must have to qualify as an objectoriented database system. We have separated these characteristics into three groups: ffl Mandatory, the ones the system must satisfy in ..."

Reliable Communication in the Presence of Failures

by Kenneth P. Birman, Thomas A. Joseph - ACM Transactions on Computer Systems , 1987
"... The design and correctness of a communication facility for a distributed computer system are reported on. The facility provides support for fault-tolerant process groups in the form of a family of reliable multicast protocols that can be used in both local- and wide-area networks. These protocols at ..."

FARSITE: Federated, Available, and Reliable Storage for an Incompletely Trusted Environment

by Atul Adya, William J. Bolosky, Miguel Castro, Gerald Cermak, Ronnie Chaiken, John R. Douceur, Jon Howell, Jacob R. Lorch, Marvin Theimer, Roger P. Wattenhofer - IN PROCEEDINGS OF THE 5TH SYMPOSIUM ON OPERATING SYSTEMS DESIGN AND IMPLEMENTATION (OSDI , 2002
"... Farsite is a secure, scalable file system that logically functions as a centralized file server but is physically distributed among a set of untrusted computers. Farsite provides file availability and reliability through randomized replicated storage; it ensures the secrecy of file contents with cry ..."

An Overview of the C++ Programming Language

by Bjarne Stroustrup , 1999
"... This overview of C++ presents the key design, programming, and language-technical concepts using examples to give the reader a feel for the language. C++ is a general-purpose programming language with a bias towards systems programming that supports efficient low-level computation, data abstraction, ..."

Disconnected Operation in the Coda File System

by James J. Kistler, M. Satyanarayanan - ACM Transactions on Computer Systems , 1992
"... Disconnected operation is a mode of operation that enables a client to continue accessing critical data during temporary failures of a shared data repository. An important, though not exclusive, application of disconnected operation is in supporting portable computers. In this paper, we show that di ..."

The physiology of the grid: An open grid services architecture for distributed systems integration

by Ian Foster , 2002
"... In both e-business and e-science, we often need to integrate services across distributed, heterogeneous, dynamic “virtual organizations ” formed from the disparate resources within a single enterprise and/or from external resource sharing and service provider relationships. This integration can be t ..."
