| Research Abstract |
We focused on the design method of distributed systems based on shared objects and considered self-stabilizing shared objects that provide high availability arid fault-tolerance. The self-stabilization guarantees that the shared objects can automatically recover from faults.
The main results obtained in this research is as follows:
We formalized self-stabilizing; objects and presented sequential implementations of the self-stabilizing objects such as search trees and heaps.
We proposed a distributed implementation of the self-stabilizing search trees.
We proposed efficient and fault-tolerant group communication such as broadcast. The group communication plays an important role in distributed implementations of shared, objects.
We proposed a hew method for analyzing efficiency of asynchronous distributed systems. The method is based on the reduction of asynchronous behavior to the synchronous behavior of the systems.
