Three‐tier replication for FT‐CORBA infrastructures

Enforcing strong replica consistency among a set of replicas of a service deployed across an asynchronous distributed system in the presence of crash failures is a real practical challenge. If each replica runs the consistency protocol bundled with the actual service implementation, this target cannot be achieved, as replicas need to be located over a partially synchronous distributed system to solve the distributed agreement problems underlying strong replica consistency.
