Book excerpt: The Internet is quickly becoming the backbone for the worldwide information society of the future. Point-to-point communication dominates the network today, however, group communication--using multicast technology--will rapidly gain importance as digital, audio, and video transmission, push technology for the Web, and distribution of software updates to millions of end users become ubiquitous. Multicast Communication: Protocols and Applications explains how and why multicast technology is the key to this transition. This book provides network engineers, designers, and administrators with the underlying concepts as well as a complete and detailed description of the protocols and algorithms that comprise multicast. * Presents information on the entire range of multicast protocols, including, PIM-SM, MFTP, and PGM and explains their mechanisms, trade-offs, and solid approaches to their implementation* Provides an in-depth examination of Quality of Service concepts, including: RSVP, ST2, IntServ, and DiffServ* Discusses group address allocation and scoping* Discusses multicast implementation in ATM networks* Builds a solid understanding of the Mbone and surveys the successes and current limitations of real multicast applications on the Internet such as videoconferencing, whiteboards, and distance learning

This book was released on 1990 with total page 15 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The main contribution of the paper is the introduction of a spectrum of abstractions for multicast communication, in increasing order of both desirability and semantic level: functional mapping, iterators, and streams. Examples of distributed algorithms from the literature are used to illustrate the expressive power of each mechanism. Streams in particular provide first-class status for multicast communciation in progress, and can be implemented efficiently in typical multicast communication architectures."

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Abstract: "Most current techniques for communications between the software components of a distributed application are limited to one-to- one communication; there is little support for one-to-many or many-to-many communications. We have developed a framework for selective multicast, a mechanism supporting one-to-many and many-to-many communications, where components of an application can communicate with each other. After discussing the overall requirements for a selective multicast environment, we describe our approach to selective multicast. An environment to support selective multicast in distributed system is then described in detail. We demonstrate selective multicast mechanism by providing an application of connecting Unix tools using selective multicast."

Download or read book Modeling And Simulation Of Distributed Systems With Cd rom written by Alexander Kostin and published by World Scientific Publishing Company. This book was released on 2010-06-28 with total page 438 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: CD-ROM with a simulation system and numerous solved models is attached to the book. Distributed systems are a continuously expanding area of computer science and computer engineering. This book addresses the need for literature on modeling and simulation techniques for distributed systems. For simulation modeling of distributed systems in the book, a specific class of extended Petri nets is used that allows to easily represent the fundamental processes of any distributed system. The book is intended, first of all, as a text for related graduate-level university courses on distributed systems in computer science and computer engineering. Other computer science and computer engineering courses would also find the book useful as a source of practical information for a broad community of those graduate students who are busy with simulation in their study and research. The book can be useful also to academics who give related graduate courses or deliver research-oriented modules for graduate students. Further, the book can be helpful to system architects and developers who apply modeling and simulation techniques as a step in the design and implementation of their systems. Containing a large number of models, with commented source texts and simulation results on the attached CD-ROM, it can also serve as valuable reference book for researchers who want to develop their own models in terms of Petri nets.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: th The 20 anniversary of the IFIP WG6. 1 Joint International Conference on Fonna! Methods for Distributed Systems and Communication Protocols (FORTE XIII / PSTV XX) was celebrated by the year 2000 edition of the Conference, which was held for the first time in Italy, at Pisa, October 10-13, 2000. In devising the subtitle for this special edition --'Fonna! Methods Implementation Under Test' --we wanted to convey two main concepts that, in our opinion, are reflected in the contents of this book. First, the early, pioneering phases in the development of Formal Methods (FM's), with their conflicts between evangelistic and agnostic attitudes, with their over optimistic applications to toy examples and over-skeptical views about scalability to industrial cases, with their misconceptions and myths . . . , all this is essentially over. Many FM's have successfully reached their maturity, having been 'implemented' into concrete development practice: a number of papers in this book report about successful experiences in specifYing and verifYing real distributed systems and protocols. Second, one of the several myths about FM's - the fact that their adoption would eventually eliminate the need for testing - is still quite far from becoming a reality, and, again, this book indicates that testing theory and applications are still remarkably healthy. A total of 63 papers have been submitted to FORTEIPSTV 2000, out of which the Programme Committee has selected 22 for presentation at the Conference and inclusion in the Proceedings.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Both authors have taught the course of “Distributed Systems” for many years in the respective schools. During the teaching, we feel strongly that “Distributed systems” have evolved from traditional “LAN” based distributed systems towards “Internet based” systems. Although there exist many excellent textbooks on this topic, because of the fast development of distributed systems and network programming/protocols, we have difficulty in finding an appropriate textbook for the course of “distributed systems” with orientation to the requirement of the undergraduate level study for today’s distributed technology. Specifically, from - to-date concepts, algorithms, and models to implementations for both distributed system designs and application programming. Thus the philosophy behind this book is to integrate the concepts, algorithm designs and implementations of distributed systems based on network programming. After using several materials of other textbooks and research books, we found that many texts treat the distributed systems with separation of concepts, algorithm design and network programming and it is very difficult for students to map the concepts of distributed systems to the algorithm design, prototyping and implementations. This book intends to enable readers, especially postgraduates and senior undergraduate level, to study up-to-date concepts, algorithms and network programming skills for building modern distributed systems. It enables students not only to master the concepts of distributed network system but also to readily use the material introduced into implementation practices.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Abstract: "PTM is a packaging tool for preparing ordinary software to execute in multicast-based environments. Using PTM, both individual programs and systems of programs can be tailored to use multicast communication, without manual intervention from the programmer, who is in turn free to reason about the distributed system's initial configuration as if ordinary RPC or message passing semantics are to be used. But with PTM, programmers also retain the flexibility afforded at run time by the multicast paradigm, where the set of tools that consume a given type of event can transparently evolve.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Recent years have seen the rapid growth of web-based applications such as search engines, social networks, and e-commerce platforms. As a consequence, our daily life activities rely on computers more and more each day. Designing reliable computer systems has thus become of a prime importance. Reliability alone is not sufficient however. These systems must support high loads of client requests and, as a result, scalability is highly valued as well. In this thesis, we address the design of fault-tolerant computer systems. More precisely, we investigate the feasibility of designing scalable database systems that offer the illusion of accessing a single copy of a database, despite failures. This study is carried out in the context of large networks composed of several groups of machines located in the same geographical region. Groups may be data centers, each located in a local area network, connected through high-latency links. In these settings, the goal is to minimize the use of inter-group links. We mask failures using data replication: if one copy of the data is not available, a replica is accessed instead. Guaranteeing data consistency in the presence of failures while offering good performance constitutes the main challenge of this thesis. To reach this goal, we first study fault-tolerant multicast communication primitives that offer various message ordering guarantees. We then rely on these multicast abstractions to propose replication protocols in which machines hold a subset of the application's data, denoted as partial replication. In contrast to full replication, partial replication may potentially offer better scalability since updates need not be applied to every machine in the system. More specifically, this thesis makes contributions in the distributed systems domain and in the database domain. In the distributed systems domain, we first devise FIFO and causal multicast algorithms, primitives that ease the design of replicated data management protocols,

This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 477 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Delta-4 is a 5-nation, 13-partner project that has been investigating the achievement of dependability in open distributed systems, including real-time systems. This book describes the design and validation of the distributed fault-tolerant architecture developed within this project. The key features of the Delta-4 architecture are: (a) a distributed object-oriented application support environment; (b) built-in support for user-transparent fault tolerance; (c) use of multicast or group communication protocols; and (d) use of standard off the-shelf processors and standard local area network technology with minimum specialized hardware. The book is organized as follows: The first 3 chapters give an overview of the architecture's objectives and of the architecture itself, and compare the proposed solutions with other approaches. Chapters 4 to 12 give a more detailed insight into the Delta-4 architectural concepts. Chapters 4 and 5 are devoted to providing a firm set of general concepts and terminology regarding dependable and real-time computing. Chapter 6 is centred on fault-tolerance techniques based on distribution. The description of the architecture itself commences with a description of the Delta-4 application support environment (Deltase) in chapter 7. Two variants of the architecture - the Delta-4 Open System Architecture (OSA) and the Delta-4 Extra Performance Architecture (XPA) - are described respectively in chapters 8 and 9. Both variants of the architecture have a common underlying basis for dependable multicasting, i. e.
