Encapsulation de la Duplication dans le Service N2M

Journal Articles

Abstract

A well accepted technique to ensure reliability in a distributed system is to replicate every object which performs critical processing. However, it is not easy to achieve replication, i.e to enable a replicated object to communicate with other objects, just as if it were not replicated. This paper presents problems raised by replication encapsulation and describes the solution proposed by the N2M service. The latter allows replicated client objects to communicate with replicated server objects using regular invocations. The N2M service defines a symetric invocation model to achieve replication encapsulation.

Self-replication

Self-replication is any behavior of a dynamical system that yields construction of an identical or similar copy of itself. Biological cells, given suitable environments, reproduce by cell division. During cell division, DNA is replicated and can be transmitted to offspring during reproduction. Biological viruses can replicate, but only by commandeering the reproductive machinery of cells through a process of infection. Harmful prion proteins can replicate by converting normal proteins into rogue forms.

Replication (computing)

Replication in computing involves sharing information so as to ensure consistency between redundant resources, such as software or hardware components, to improve reliability, fault-tolerance, or accessibility. Replication in computing can refer to: Data replication, where the same data is stored on multiple storage devices Computation replication, where the same computing task is executed many times.

Self-replicating machine

A self-replicating machine is a type of autonomous robot that is capable of reproducing itself autonomously using raw materials found in the environment, thus exhibiting self-replication in a way analogous to that found in nature. The concept of self-replicating machines has been advanced and examined by Homer Jacobson, Edward F. Moore, Freeman Dyson, John von Neumann, Konrad Zuse and in more recent times by K.
