k-coteries for fault-tolerant k entries to a critical section
S.-T. Huang, Jehn‐Ruey Jiang, Yu‐Chen Kuo · 2002
The authors extend the concept of coterie into k-coterie for k entries to a critical section. A structure named Cohorts is proposed to construct quorums in a k-coterie. The solution is resilient to node failures and/or network partitioning and has a low communication cost. The Cohorts structure is further improved to increase the availabilities of 1-entry critical sections.>
