  abstract = {This paper presents the design and implementation of Jgroup/ARM, a distributed object group platform with autonomous replication management along with a novel measurement-based assessment technique that is used to validate the fault-handling capability of Jgroup/ARM. Jgroup extends Java RMI through the group communication paradigm and has been designed specifically for application support in partitionable systems. ARM aims at improving the dependability characteristics of systems through a fault-treatment mechanism. Hence, ARM focuses on deployment and operational aspects, where the gain in terms of improved dependability is likely to be the greatest. The main objective of ARM is to localize failures and to reconfigure the system according to application-specific dependability requirements. Combining Jgroup and ARM can significantly reduce the effort necessary for developing, deploying and managing dependable, partition-aware applications. Jgroup/ARM is evaluated experimentally to validate its fault-handling capability; the recovery performance of a system deployed in a wide area network is evaluated. In this experiment multiple nearly coincident reachability changes are injected to emulate network partitionsseparating the service replicas. The results show that Jgroup/ARM is able to recover applications to their initial state in several realistic failure scenarios, including multiple, concurrent network partitionings.},

large scale and extreme dynamism of their operating environment.  As
such, they can be seen as instances of complex adaptive systems
(CAS) typically found in biological and social sciences.  In this
paper we describe Anthill, a framework to support the design,
 implementation and evaluation of P2P applications based 
on ideas such as multi-agent and evolutionary programming borrowed 
from CAS. An Anthill system consists of a dynamic network of peer 
nodes; societies of adaptive agents travel through 
this network, interacting with nodes and cooperating with other 
agents in order to solve complex problems.  Anthill can be used to 
construct different classes of P2P services that exhibit resilience, 
adaptation and self-organization properties.  We also describe preliminary 
experiences with Anthill in implementing a file sharing application.},

@phdthesis{Meling2006,
  abstract = {Networked computer systems are prevalent in most aspects of modern society,
and we have become dependent on such computer systems to perform many critical tasks.
Moreover, making such systems dependable is an important goal.
However, dependability issues are often neglected when developing systems
due to the complexities of the techniques involved.

A common technique used to improve the dependability characteristics of
systems is to replicate critical system components whereby the functions they
perform are repeated by multiple replicas.  Replicas are often distributed
geographically and connected through a network as a means to render the failure
of one replica independent of the others.  However, the network is also a
potential source of failures, as nodes can become temporarily disconnected
from each other, introducing an array of new problems.

The majority of previous projects have focused on the provision of middleware
libraries aimed at simplifying the development of dependable distributed systems,
whereas the pivotal deployment and operational aspects of such systems have
received very little attention.  This thesis extends on previous works and
emphasize the deployment and operational aspects, where the gain in terms of
improved dependability is likely to be the greatest.

The main contribution of this dissertation is an architecture for autonomous
replication management, aimed to improve the dependability characteristics of
systems through a self-managed fault treatment mechanism that is adaptive
to network dynamics and changing requirements.  Consequently, the architecture
also improves the deployment and operational aspect of systems, and reduces
the human interactions needed.  The architecture has been implemented as a
proof of concept prototype by extending the Jgroup object group system.

In addition, numerous supporting contributions are also included in this work:
(i) an architecture for dynamic protocol composition that avoids the delays of
event processing in intermediate layers of a strictly vertical protocol stack;
(ii) adaptive protocol selection is also made possible on a per method/invocation
basis, by annotating server methods with the replication protocol to be used;
(iii) client-side membership handling is also implemented aimed to improve
the load balancing and failover properties of systems when exposed to failures;
(iv) online upgrade management of operational services is also implemented
as an extension to the replication management architecture.

Finally, the dissertation provides extensive experimental evaluation of the fault
treatment capabilities of the autonomous replication management architecture,
with emphasis on testing complex failure scenarios.
The first experiment examines the ability of clients to maintain correct membership
when servers crash and recover.
The second experiment investigates the behavior of services when exposed to multiple
nearly-coincident node crash failures.  In conjunction with this experiment, a novel
technique has been developed to estimate various service dependability characteristics.
In the third experiment the recovery performance of a system deployed in a wide area
network is evaluated.  In this experiment multiple nearly-coincident reachability
changes are injected to simulate network partitions separating the service replicas.

To support the experimental evaluation, a set of generic tools have also been developed to
aid the execution and analysis of the experiments.},

  abstract = {Jgroup/ARM is a middleware framework for operating dependable distributed 
applications based on Java. Jgroup integrates the distributed ob ject models of Java RMI 
and Jini with the object group communication paradigm, enabling the construction of groups 
of replicated server ob jects that provide dependable services to clients. ARM provides automated mechanisms for distributing replicas to host processors and recovering from replica failures. 
This paper describes an approach based on stratified sampling combined with fault injections 
for estimating the dependability attributes of a service deployed using the Jgroup/ARM 
middleware framework. A first experimental evaluation is performed focusing on a service 
provided by a triplicated server, and indicative predictions of various dependability attributes of the service are obtained. The evaluation shows that a very high availability and MTBF may be achieved for services based on Jgroup/ARM.},

  abstract = {This paper presents the design and implementation of the Distributed Autonomous Replication Management (DARM) framework built on top of the Spread group communication system. The objective of DARM is to improve the dependability characteristics of systems through a fault treatment mechanism. Unlike many existing fault tolerance frameworks, DARM focuses on deployment and operational aspects, where the gain in terms of improved dependability is likely to be the greatest.

DARM is novel in that recovery decisions are distributed to each individual group deployed in the system, eliminating the need for a centralized manager with global information about all groups. This scheme allows groups to perform fault treatment on themselves. A group leader in each group is responsible for fault treatment by means of replacing failed group members; the approach also tolerates failure of the group leader. The advantages of the distributed approach is: (i)~no need to maintain globally centralized information about all groups which is costly and limits scalability, (ii)~reduced infrastructure complexity, and (iii)~less communication overhead. We evaluate the approach experimentally to validate its fault handling capability; the recovery performance of a system deployed in a local area network is evaluated. The results show that applications can recover to their initial system configuration in a very short period of time.},
