Summary :

This paper proposes a network design model, considering data consistency for a delay-sensitive distributed processing system. The data consistency is determined by collating the own state and the states of slave servers. If the state is mismatched with other servers, the rollback process is initiated to modify the state to guarantee data consistency. In the proposed model, the selected servers and the master-slave server pairs are determined to minimize the end-to-end delay and the delay for data consistency. We formulate the proposed model as an integer linear programming problem. We evaluate the delay performance and computation time. We evaluate the proposed model in two network models with two, three, and four slave servers. The proposed model reduces the delay for data consistency by up to 31 percent compared to that of a typical model that collates the status of all servers at one master server. The computation time is a few seconds, which is an acceptable time for network design before service launch. These results indicate that the proposed model is effective for delay-sensitive applications.
