Abstract:
We give a rigorous account of an algorithm that provides sequentially consistent
replicated data on top of the view synchronous group communication service
previously specified by Fekete, Lynch and Shvartsman. The algorithm
performs updates at all members of a majority view, but rotates the work
of queries among the members to equalize the load. The algorithm
is presented and verified using I/O automata.
