Paper Abstract:
|
This paper presents a modular middleware for reliable distributed programming, formed by the following modules: failure detection, reliable point-to-point communication, reliable broadcast, Consensus, and total order broadcast. The lower layer of the middleware is built on top of an unreliable message-passing service. The upper layer, namely total order broadcast, provides the semantics required for the programming of reliable distributed applications based on active replication. We have implemented and evaluated a prototype of the middleware in the Java programming language. |
