A Note on Regeneration with Virtual Copies

Reducing management costs and improving the availability of large-scale distributed systems require automatic replica regeneration, that is, creating new replicas in response to replica failures. A major challenge to regeneration is maintaining ...

Many distributed systems are now being developed to provide users with convenient access to data via some kind of communications network. In many cases it is desirable to keep the system functioning even when it is partitioned by network failures. A ...

The authors consider the consistency control problem for replicated data in a distributed computing system (DCS) and propose a new algorithm to dynamically regenerate copies of data objects in response to node failures and network partitioning in the ...
