U.S.-France (INRIA) Cooperative Research: Architectures for Scalable Distributed Services

这项为期三年的合同支持美法合作研究，旨在开发一套计算协议，用于为计算机应用程序构建高性能和容错服务。这项合作包括佐治亚理工学院的Mustaque Ahamad、雷恩大学的Michel Raynal以及法国国家信息学与应用数学研究所（INRIA）。他们建议探索支持高度交互和动态应用程序的基本技术，以及广泛分布的用户之间的交互。他们的研究将集中在对分布式服务和可扩展实现有用的一致性标准的特征描述上。这位美国研究人员为这次合作带来了分布式共享存储器和计算机容错访问管理方面的专业知识。这是法国在理论和应用分布式计算方面的专业知识的补充。

This three-year award supports US-France cooperative research aimed at the development of a suite of computing protocols that can be used to build high performance and fault-tolerant services for computer applications. The collaboration involves Mustaque Ahamad at the Georgia Institute of Technology and Michel Raynal of the University of Rennes and the French National Institute for Research in Informatics and Applied Mathematics (INRIA). They propose to explore fundamental techniques in support of highly interactive and dynamic applications, and interactions among widely distributed users. Their research will focus on the characterizations of consistency criteria useful for distributed services and scalable implementations. The US investigator brings to this collaboration expertise in distributed shared memories and management of fault-tolerant access to computers. This is complemented by French expertise in theoretical and applied distributed computing.
