Abstract

This tutorial describes a general approach for building cooperative services that span multiple administrative domains (MADs). MAD systems are attractive because their diffused control structure may yield services that are potentially less costly and more democratic than their more centralized counterparts. Unfortunately, they are also particularly problematic from a dependability standpoint as they challenge the traditional distinction between correct and faulty nodes.
