Towards Configurable Building Blocks for the Development of Distributed Services: Resource Selection and Communication Protocols
Eliana-Dina Tîrşa, Mugurel Ionuţ Andreica, Valentin Cristea, Nicolae Ţăpuş · 2011
In this paper we argue our view for providing a set of configurable building blocks for the development of distributed services and discuss in detail the architecture of two such blocks: a fault-tolerant, fully decentralized resource selection component to be used in virtual Cloud-like environments (not necessarily restricted to clusters) and a Python-based framework for developing point-to-point communication protocols. The resource selection component is based on a multidimensional P2P object storage architecture where a set of peers manage a large number of objects.
