“…Recent works related to WS dependability, e.g. [5,6,7], have introduced several approaches to incorporating resilience techniques (including voting, backward and forward error recovery mechanisms and replication techniques) into WS architectures. There have been also some works on benchmarking and experimental measurements of dependability [8,9].…”

This paper reports our practical experience of benchmarking a complex System Biology Web Service, and investigates the instability of its behaviour and the delays induced by the communication medium. We present the results of our statistical data analysis and the distributions, describing and predicting the response time instability typical of Service-Oriented Architectures (SOAs) built over the Internet. Our experiment has shown that the request processing time of the target e-science Web Service has a higher instability than the network round trip time. It was found that the request processing time can be represented better than the network round trip time using a particular theoretical distribution, moreover the probability distribution series of the round trip time have characteristics make it really difficult to describe them theoretically. The paper concludes with discussing the lessons learnt about the analysis techniques to be used in such experiments, the validity of the data, the main causes of uncertainty and possible remedial action.

“…Other work [5,8,9,10,11,12,17,21] either uses a different approach such as checkpointing and replay, or is still in conceptual stage. Some of the work ignored the consistency issues when performing replication and failure detection over the Internet, which may be problematic because the Internet is largely an asynchronous system.…”

“…A large number of high availability solutions for Web services have been proposed in the last several years (Birman, 2004;Chan et al, 2006;Dialani et al, 2002;Dobson, 2006;Erradi and Maheshwari, 2005;Fang et al, 2007;Looker et al, 2005;Merideth et al, 2005;Moser et al, 2006;Pallemulle et al, 2008). Most of them are designed to cope with crash faults only and very few offered Byzantine fault tolerance capability (Merideth et al, 2005;Pallemulle et al, 2008;Li et al, 2005).…”

Design and implementation of a Byzantine fault tolerance framework for Web services

Many Web services are expected to run with high degree of security and dependability. To achieve this goal, it is essential to use a Web-services compatible framework that tolerates not only crash faults, but Byzantine faults as well, due to the untrusted communication environment in which the Web services operate. In this paper, we describe the design and implementation of such a framework, called BFT-WS. BFT-WS is designed to operate on top of the standard SOAP messaging framework for maximum interoperability. It is implemented as a pluggable module within the Axis2 architecture, as such, it requires minimum changes to the Web applications. The core fault tolerance mechanisms used in BFT-WS are based on the well-known Castro and Liskov's BFT algorithm for optimal efficiency. Our performance measurements confirm that BFT-WS incurs only moderate runtime overhead considering the complexity of the mechanisms.
