This book was released on 1999 with total page 422 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Papers from an October 1999 symposium present the latest research on facets of reliable distributed systems, including mobile computing, distributed algorithms, formal methods, replication techniques, scalability, failure analysis, system support, logging and checkpointing, and CORBA systems. Novel techniques are proposed, design paradigms are explored, and critical validation issues are addressed. Specific topics include diffusing updates in a Byzantine environment, optimistic recovery in multi-threaded distributed systems, and resolving distributed deadlocks in the OR request model.
