Argus--a programming language and system-was developed to support the implementation and execution of distributed programs. Distribution gives rise to some problems that do not exist in a centralized system, or that exist in a less complex form. For example, a centralized system is either running or crashed, but a distributed system may be partly running and partly crashed. The goal of Argus is to provide mechanisms that make it easier for programmers to cope with these problems. A program in…

ARGUS REFERENCE MANUAL

Argus is an experimental language/system designed to support the construction and execution of distributed programs that make use of on-line data that must remain consistent in spite of concurrency and hardware failures, and provide services under real-time constraints that are not severe.

Guardians and Actions: Linguistic Support for Robust, Distributed Programs

The language addresses the writing of robust programs that survive hardware failures without loss of distributed information and that provide highly concurrent access to that information while preserving its consistency.

Avalon : language support for reliable distributed systems

This paper presents an overview of the novel aspects of Avalon/C++: support for testing transaction serialization orders at run-time, and user-defined, but system-invoked, transaction commit and abort operations for atomic data objects.

Nested Transactions: An Approach to Reliable Distributed Computing

The method for implementing nested transactions is novel in that it uses locking for concurrency control and the necessary algorithms for locking, recovery, distributed commitment, and distributed deadlock detection for a nested transaction system are presented.

A Case Study Of CES: A Distributed Collaborative Editing System Implemented In Argus

Experience implementing CES, a distributed collaborative editing system, is described, which exhibits a number of requirements typical of distributed applications and is written in Argus, a language designed to support the construction of reliable distributed programs.

A nested transaction mechanism for LOCUS

A working implementation of nested transactions has been produced for LOCUS, an integrated distributed operating system which provides a high degree of network transparency and an efficient orphan removal algorithm is presented.

Implementation of Argus

The implementation of Argus is described, with particular emphasis on the way the authors implement atomic actions, because this is where Argus differs most from other implemented systems.

Abstraction mechanisms in CLU

This paper provides an introduction to the abstraction mechanisms in CLU and illustrates the utility of the three kinds of abstractions in program construction and shows how CLU programs may be written to use and implement abstractions.

Crash Recovery in a Distributed Data Storage System

An algorithm is described which guarantees reliable storage of data in a distributed system, even when different portions of the data base, stored on separate machines, are updated as part of a…

Implementation of resilient, atomic data types

This work defines what it means for abstract data types to be atomic and resilient, and discusses issues that arise in implementing such types, and describes a particular linguistic mechanism provided in the Argus programming language.
