Node autonomy in distributed systems
Héctor García-Molina, Boris Ya. Kogan · International Symposium on Databases for Parallel and Distributed Systems · 1988
The goal of this paper is to explore the notion of node autonomy in distributed computer systems. Some motivations for autonomy are exposed. Different facets of autonomy as well as relationships among them are discussed. Finally, we look into how autonomy affects other aspects of distributed computing, including timeliness, correctness, load sharing, data sharing, and data replication.
