Abstract

We describe a reliability algorithm being considered for DDM, a distributed database system under development at Computer Corporation of America. The algorithm is designed to tolerate clean site failures in which sites simply stop running. The algorithm allows the system to reconfigure itself to run correctly as sites fail and recover. The algorithm solves the subproblems of atomic commit and replicated data handling in an integrated manner.
