The protocols for highly available transactions, and an experimental evaluation showing that Cure is able to achieve scalability similar to eventually-consistent NoSQL databases, while providing stronger guarantees.
Distributed transactional reads: the strong, the quick, the fresh & the impossible
- Alejandro Z. Tomsic, Manuel Bravo, M. Shapiro
- Computer ScienceInternational Middleware Conference
- 3 October 2018
An existing protocol is modified to ensure minimal-delay reads (at the cost of freshness) under atomic-visibility and causally-consistent semantics, and experimental evaluation supports the theoretical results.
2W-FD: A Failure Detector Algorithm with QoS

This work introduces the Two-Windows Failure Detector (2W-FD), an algorithm able to react to sudden changes in network conditions, property that currently existing algorithms do not satisfy.

It is argued that the virtual actor model is an ideal platform on which to build a serverless event-stream processing service with pay-for-use and SLA’s.

An empirical perspective on causal consistency

- 21 April 2015
This work identifies that protocols that provide causal consistency share the well-known DUR (deferred update replication) algorithmic structure and observes that existing implementations of causal consistency fall into a sub- category of DUR that is named A-DUR (Asynchronous-D UR), and describes the empirical study it intends to perform on causal consistency.
A Failure Detector Algorithm with QoS

This work introduces the Two Windows Failure Detector (2W- FD), an algorithm that provides QoS and is able to react to sudden changes in network conditions, a property that currently existing algorithms do not satisfy.
Exploring the design space of highly-available distributed transactions
- Alejandro Z. Tomsic
- Computer Science
- 19 April 2018
A three-way trade-off between read isolation, delay (latency), and data freshness is found and demonstrated, and two isolation properties are proposed: TCC- and PSI-.
PhysiCS-NMSI: efficient consistent snapshots for scalable snapshot isolation
- Alejandro Z. Tomsic, Tyler Crain, M. Shapiro
- Computer SciencePaPoC@EuroSys
- 18 April 2016
This work documents the design of PhysiCS-NMSI, a transactional protocol implementing NMSI in a partitioned data store that is the first protocol to rely on a single scalar taken from a physical clock for tracking causal dependencies and building causally consistent snapshots.
MW-FD, A Failure Detector Algorithm with QoS, and an Analysis Towards Failure Detection as a Service
- Alejandro Z. Tomsic, J. Montelius, Julien Sopena, L. Arantes

- 2013
This work introduces the Multiple Windows Failure Detector (MW-FD), a failure detector that presents an improved the QoS when compared to existing FD algorithms, and analyses the idea of multiple applications or virtual machines, with di↵erent QoS requirements in terms of failure detection, running on a single host using a single FD as a shared service.
