Open Access padlockePrints

The Newcastle University research output collection, currently available on ePrints, will shortly be moving to a new open repository platform, Figshare. To prepare for the data migration we have paused adding new content to ePrints, and will resume once the new repository is launched. During this time you will continue to have access to ePrints (but no new content will appear). We will share updates here when available.

Abstract

The purpose of this paper is to propose a way of tolerating software (design) faults in distributed systems relying on the well-known conversation (atomic action) approach. To do this, we shall consider differences between two programming paradigms: group communication and conversations, and discuss how a group communication service can be used to provide design fault tolerance by conversations. The main characteristics and peculiarities of this new conversational group service are described.
