Designing ReDy distributed systems

Distributed systems are largely present and deployed in recent applications. Several systems have common basic requirements, which motivates to adapt reusable solutions for each family of systems. In this paper, we focus on distributed systems designed for large-scale applications requiring a high degree of Reliability and Dynamicity (ReDy distributed systems). We propose a basic architecture for this family of systems and a design solution to guarantee the scalability of the system, the fault tolerance, and a highly dynamic membership management. The studied systems range from hybrid architecture, on which we combine centralized and decentralized solutions. © 2015 IEEE.
