Abstract
One of the important criteria that affect the usefulness and efficiency of a distributed system is availability, which mainly depends on how the components of the system are deployed on the available hosts. If the components that need lots of interaction are on the same host, the availability will definitely be higher given that all the components are working properly. In this paper, we extend the work of the Avala model in two ways: (1) we provide a dependency relation between the components as an additional factor and (2) we extend the Avala algorithm by implementing a replication mechanism.
