Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsA Robust Byzantine Fault-Tolerant Replication Technique for Peer-to-Peer Content DistributionAyyasamy Sellappan, Sivanandam NatarajanProblem statement: In peer-to-peer networks, Byzantine fault tolerance refers to the capability of a system to tolerate Byzantine faults. It can be achieved by replicating the server and by ensuring all server replicas reach an agreement on the input despite Byzantine faulty replicas and clients. Since malicious attacks and software errors can cause faulty nodes to exhibit Byzantine behavior, Byzantine-fault-tolerant … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 7, Issue 2 · 25 Feb 2011 · 7,056 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsA Fault Tolerant Mobile Agent Information Retrieval SystemR. Punithavathi, K. DuraiswamyProblem statement: Most of the information retrieval systems used only client-server architectures. The client-server model though powerful, had some limitations. In mobile computing environment which has both wired network and wireless networks with limited communication capabilities, the performance of the system was very low. Approach: Mobile agents are considered a suitable technology to develop applications such as information retrieval system … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 6, Issue 5 · 31 May 2010 · 7,203 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsProviding Reliability in Replicated Middleware ApplicationsR. Saravanan, N. RamarajProblem statement: Data inconsistency is raised in actively replicated environment due to non-determinism in the applications that defeats the purpose of replication as a fault-tolerance strategy. Approach: We proposed an efficient framework RTC which ensured determinism among the replicas in fault tolerance middleware applications. This method exploits the technique of statically analyzing the application source code of client and identifies … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 5, Issue 1 · 31 Jan 2009 · 8,696 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsDesign and Bandwidth Analysis of Fault-Tolerant Multistage Interconnection NetworksR. Aggarwal, L. KaurThe design of a suitable interconnection network for inter-processor communication is one of the key issues of the system performance. In this study a new irregular interconnection network IABN (Irregular Augmented Baseline) has been proposed. IABN is designed by modifying existing ABN (Augmented Baseline Network). ABN is a regular multi-path network with limited fault tolerance. IABN provides three times more … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 4, Issue 11 · 30 Nov 2008 · 6,830 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsOperation of an SLA-aware Grid FabricMatthias HovestadtResearch on Grid Computing started under purely technical questions of how to realize the virtualization of distributed resources. Now, the commercial user should be attracted to use the Grid. Future applications of the Next Generation Grid will demand for flexible negotiation mechanisms supporting various ways of Quality-of-Service (QoS) guarantees. In this context a Service Level Agreement (SLA) is a powerful … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 2, Issue 6 · 30 Jun 2006 · 6,659 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsRecovery in Distributed Systems from Transient and Permanent FaultsM. Aliouat, Z. AliouatThe recovery mechanism from transient fault in distributed systems has been intensively studied in the past, but to our best knowledge, none of these studies has been devoted to cope together with transient and permanent hard faults. Our study devoted to recovery processes in a distributed environment in case of hard faults like transient or permanent. The recovery mechanism we … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 3, Issue 8 · 31 Aug 2007 · 6,854 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsPerformance Improvement and Deadlock Prevention for a Distributed Fault Diagnosis AlgorithmThabit S. MohammedThis research presents an overview to the issue of fault diagnosis in distributed systems and an evaluation study to some of the algorithms proposed in literature for performing distributed fault diagnosis. One algorithm was chosen and adopted for implementation in a simulator for investigation. A strategy for improving the performance of this algorithm and preventing deadlock was proposed in this … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 3, Issue 2 · 28 Feb 2007 · 6,908 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsRedundancy Schemes for High Availability Computer ClustersChristian K. Bassek, Samuel Pierre, Alejandro QuinteroThe primary goal of computer clusters is to improve computing performances by taking advantage of the parallelism they intrinsically provide. Moreover, their use of redundant hardware components enables them to offer high availability services. In this paper, we present an analytical model for analyzing redundancy schemes and their impact on the cluster’s overall performance. Furthermore, several cluster redundancy techniques are … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 2, Issue 1 · 31 Jan 2006 · 7,229 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractVolatility-Aware Hybrid Memory Architecture for Real-Time and Persistent Big Data SystemsMohammed Elhabib Maicha, Mohammed Redha BouzidiAs data volumes and real-time analytics demands grow, DRAM only memory systems struggle to scale cost-efficiently and sustainably. We present VA-HMA, a volatility-aware hybrid memory architecture that combines DRAM and Non-Volatile Memory (NVM) with a lightweight, machine-learned placement layer and endurance-aware fault tolerance. VA-HMA continuously monitors access patterns and applies a Random Forest–based predictor to guide batched page migrations and … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 22, Issue 6 · 27 Jun 2026 · 1,214 accessesView PDFCite
