A replicated object server for a distributed object-oriented system
P.-Y. Chevalier · 2003
The design and implementation of a replicated object server called Goofy, which is intended to provide a fault-tolerant storage system for distributed object-oriented applications, are described. Goofy supplies the object storage of the GUIDE (Grenoble Universities Integrated Distributed Environment) distributed object-oriented system with integrity, reliability and availability, while preserving object consistency despite network partition failures. Some preliminary experiments are described. Goofy is compared with related work on replicated servers, and the lessons drawn from this work and some conclusions on fault tolerance in GUIDE are given.>
