An efficient snapshot collection protocol for deterministic mobile distributed systems. (English)
IJCSES, Int. J. Comput. Sci. Eng. Syst. 2, No. 2, 115-120 (2008).
Summary: We propose a minimum-process coordinated checkpointing algorithm for deterministic mobile distributed systems, where no useless checkpoints are taken, no blocking of processes takes place, and anti-messages of very few messages are logged during checkpointing. We also address the related issues like: failures during checkpointing disconnections, concurrent initiations of the algorithm and maintaining exact dependencies among processes.
