Quorum Systems in Replicated Databases: Science or Fiction?
A quorum system is a collection of subsets of servers, every two of which intersect. Quorum systems have been suggested as a tool for concurrency control in replicated databases almost twenty years ago. They promised to guarantee strict consistency and to provide high availability and fault-tolerance in the face of server crashes and network partitions. Despite these promises, current commercia...

متن کاملLegion Structure for Quorum-Based Location Management in Mobile Computing
An important issue in the design of mobile computing systems is the efficient management of location information. In this paper, we propose the Legion structure that can be used to construct schemes for distributed applications, such as location management, information dissemination, mutual exclusion, etc. We also present a new and simple distributed quorum-based location management scheme, Leg...
متن کاملA Load Balancing Strategy for Replica Consistency Maintenance in Data Grid Systems
In data grid environment, the management of shared data is one of the major scientific challenges. Data replication is one of the important techniques used in grid systems to increase the availability, scalability and fault tolerance. However, the update of a replica might bring a critical problem of replica consistency maintenance. Thus, maintaining the consistency of the replicas is not trivi...
متن کاملLiterature Survey Report On Quorum Systems
This report summarizes the state of the art in the research area of quorum systems as represented by the papers [PM01], [ES00], [MRW97], and [AMR+00]. Quorum systems are used in fault tolerant distributed computing systems for ensuring the availability of a replicated service and replicated data, even if the replicated servers fail by crashing benignly or in a byzantine, i.e. arbitrary way. Quo...
