Replication is a topic of interest in the distributed computing,
distributed systems, and database communities. Although these
communities have traditionally looked at replication from different
viewpoints and with different goals (e.g., performance versus fault
tolerance), recent developments have led to a convergence of these
different goals. The objective of this state-of-the-art survey is
not to speculate about the future of replication, but rather to
understand the present, to make an assessment of approximately 30
years of research on replication, and to present a comprehensive
view of the achievements made during this period of time.
This book is the outcome of the seminar entitled A 30-Year
Perspective on Replication, which was held at Monte Verit, Ascona,
Switzerland, in November 2007. The book is organized in 13
self-contained chapters written by most of the people who have
contributed to developing state-of-the-art replication techniques.
It presents a comprehensive view of existing solutions, from a
theoretical as well as from a practical point of view. It covers
replication of processes/objects and of databases; replication for
fault tolerance and replication for performance - benign faults and
malicious (Byzantine) faults - thus forming a basis for both
professionals and students of distributed computing, distributed
systems, and databases.
