Abstract :
A quorum-based commit and termination protocol is designed with the goal of maintaining high data availability in case of failures. The protocol proposed is resilient to arbitrary concurrent site failures, lost messages, and network partitioning. The major difference between this protocol and existing ones is that the voting partition processing strategy is taken into consideration in the design. As a result, the protocol is expected to maintain higher data availability
