to O
designing O

fault O

This O
work O
is O
motivated O
by O
the O
instability O
and O
unscalability O
of O
classical O
determin- O
istic O
protocols O
for O
several O
distributed O
computing O
problems O
, O
ranging O
from O
the O
popular O
(e.g., O
reliable O
multi- O
cast O
, O
peer O
- O
to O
- O
peer O
distributed O
hash O
table O
systems O
) O
to O
ones O
that O
are O
essential O
components O
of O
any O
distributed O
system O
over O
the O
Internet O
(e.g., O
group O
membership O
, O
data O
aggregation O
, O
leader O
election). O
Randomization O
is O
an O
old O
algorithmic O
technique O
, O
yet O
applying O
it O
to O
build O
scalable O
protocols O
involves O
design O
decisions O
that O
guar- O
antee O
correctness O
even O
in O
the O
face O
of O
failures O
such O
as O
host O
crashes O
, O
message O
losses O
, O
and O
high O
user O
turnover O
rates. O
Scalable O
probabilistic O
protocols O
that O
I O
have O
developed O
and O
investigated O
include O
the O
SWIM O
member- O
ship O
protocol O
, O
scalable O
virtually O
synchronous O
multicast O
, O
leader O

, O

topologically O
aware O
and O
adaptive O
gossip O
- O
based O
multicast O
, O
and O
the O
Kelips O
p2p O
DHT O
system. O
These O
protocols O
exhibit O
scaling O
and O
stability O
characteristics O
that O
are O
better O
than O
existing O
systems.We O
have O
projected O
that O
these O
protocols O
will O
be O
applicable O
in O
several O
emerging O
domains O
such O
as O
sensor O
network O
systems.I O

investigating O

approach O
to O
designing O
scalable O
and O
fault O
- O
resilient O
protocols. O
This O
work O
is O
motivated O
by O
the O
instability O
and O
unscalability O
of O
classical O
deterministic O
protocols O
for O
several O
distributed O
computing O
problems O
, O
ranging O
from O
the O
popular O
(e.g., O
reliable O
multicast O
, O
peer O
- O
to O
- O
peer O
distributed O
hash O
table O
systems O
) O
to O
ones O
that O
are O
essential O
components O
of O
any O
distributed O
system O
over O
the O
Internet O
(e.g., O
group O
membership O
, O
data O
aggregation O
, O
leader O
election). O
Randomization O
is O
an O
old O
algorithmic O
technique O
, O
yet O
applying O
it O
to O
build O
scalable O
protocols O
involves O
design O
decisions O
that O
guarantee O
correctness O
even O
in O
the O
face O
of O
failures O
such O
as O
host O
crashes O
, O
message O
losses O
, O
and O
high O
user O
turnover O
rates. O
Scalable O
probabilistic O
protocols O
that O
I O
have O
developed O
and O
investigated O
include O
the O
SWIM O
membership O
protocol O
, O
scalable O
virtually O
synchronous O
multicast O
, O
leader O
election O
, O
data O
aggregation O
, O
topologically O
aware O
and O
adaptive O
gossip O
- O
based O
multicast O
, O
and O
the O
Kelips O
p2p O
DHT O
system. O
These O
protocols O
exhibit O
scaling O
and O
stability O
characteristics O
that O
are O
better O
than O
existing O
systems.We O
have O
projected O
that O
these O
protocols O
will O
be O
applicable O
in O
several O
emerging O
domains O
such O
as O
sensor O
network O
systems.I O

I O
implemented O
a O

The O
protocol O
was O
implemented O

in O

We O
argue O
that O
traditional O
passive O

to O
directory O
services O
are O
not O
sufficient O
for O
the O
application O
environments O
enabled O
by O

pervasive O
computing O
, O
where O
data O
are O
updated O
at O
high O
frequency O
. O
 
In O
particular O
, O
an O
exclusively O
passive O
interface O
not O
only O
hinders O
service O
scalability O
but O
also O
indirectly O
restricts O
the O
behavior O
of O
potential O
applications O
. O
 
Consequently O
, O
we O
have O
proposed O
a O
customizable O
active O
mode O
through O
which O
clients O
can O
subscribe O
to O
be O
notified O
of O
changes O

We O
have O
designed O

the O
Proactive O

test O
our O
ideas O
