Middleware Support for Voting and Data Fusion
نویسندگان
چکیده
Middleware is a class of software systems above the operating system which is becoming widely used for programming distributed systems. Voting is a fundamental operation when distributed systems involve replicated components. However, support for voting in middleware is very limited. This paper describes issues involved with supporting voting, and more general data fusion, in middleware. We describe the Voting Virtual Machine (VVM) architecture, which can be embedded in different middleware substrates such as .NET and CORBA. We also describe its companion Voting Definition Language (VDL), which allows for portable description of voting algorithms. The VVM and VDL, together with the external VVM voting manager, provide for voting transparency and adaptive voting. Finally, we describe how the simple “byte-by-byte” value comparison schemes used in other voting middleware as well as in byzantine fault tolerant multicast systems do not work in the face of the heterogeneity inherent in distributed systems.

An Effective and Optimal Fusion Rule in the Presence of Probabilistic Spectrum Sensing Data Falsification Attack
Cognitive radio (CR) network is an excellent solution to the spectrum scarcity problem. Cooperative spectrum sensing (CSS) has been widely used to precisely detect of primary user (PU) signals. The trustworthiness of the CSS is vulnerable to spectrum sensing data falsification (SSDF) attack. In an SSDF attack, some malicious users intentionally report wrong sensing results to cheat the fusion c...

Voting is the process of combining multiple replies from replicated servers into a single reply. Data fusion is similar to but more general than voting. In data fusion, the input sources are not necessarily replicated servers, hence the inputs exhibit greater variance. Data fusion is a fundamental building block in distributed systems. It occurs in diverse contexts such as consensus, sensor net...

متن کاملAccess control in ultra-large-scale systems using a data-centric middleware
The primary characteristic of an Ultra-Large-Scale (ULS) system is ultra-large size on any related dimension. A ULS system is generally considered as a system-of-systems with heterogeneous nodes and autonomous domains. As the size of a system-of-systems grows, and interoperability demand between sub-systems is increased, achieving more scalable and dynamic access control system becomes an im...
