General Structured Voting : A Flexible Frameworkfor Modelling
نویسنده
چکیده
Due to the diierent characteristics of replicated data objects and networks, highly adjustable replication schemes for the management of replicated data objects are required. Data replication schemes can be regarded as special instances of cooperation schemes, which describe the interaction of independent nodes within a computer network in order to achieve a common goal. This paper presents a new mechanism called General Struc-tured Voting for cooperation management and demonstrates its use for handling replicated data objects. The proposed approach is very exible, covers a wide range of scenarios and supports an easy tailoring. It is based on a hierarchical structure of physical and logical nodes and uses a general algorithm in order to model various schemes without any modii-cation of the implementation. The suitability of General Structured Voting is demonstrated and it is compared with other concepts for replication management, like Weighted Voting, Multi{Dimensional Voting, and Coteries.

متن کاملRapid Replication Scheme Design with General Structured Voting
General Structured Voting is a exible framework for modelling a wide range of data replication schemes using a single uniform algorithm. In this paper we give an overview of the concept and its key data structure called a voting structure. Voting structures are used 1) to derive sets of cooperating nodes and 2) to deene a sequence in which these sets are applied in order to execute an operation...
متن کاملDevelopment of a Robust Observer for General Form Nonlinear System: Theory, Design and Implementation
The problem of observer design for nonlinear systems has got great attention in the recent literature. The nonlinear observer has been a topic of interest in control theory. In this research, a modified robust sliding-mode observer (SMO) is designed to accurately estimate the state variables of nonlinear systems in the presence of disturbances and model uncertainties. The observer has a simple ...
متن کاملSimultaneous Lot Sizing and Scheduling in a Flexible Flow Line
This paper breaks new ground by modelling lot sizing and scheduling in a flexible flow line (FFL) simultaneously instead of separately. This problem, called the ‘General Lot sizing and Scheduling Problem in a Flexible Flow Line’ (GLSP-FFL), optimizes the lot sizing and scheduling of multiple products at multiple stages, each stage having multiple machines in parallel. The objective is to satisf...

General Structured Voting is a general framework for a wide range of data replication and distributed mutual exclusion schemes. It allows an easy tailoring for speciic objects and environments in a homogeneous manner. In this paper we investigate the characteristics of a so-called voting structure used by General Structured Voting to derive sets of cooperating nodes. Such a set of cooperating n...
