Abstract :
This paper introduces the notion of a quality of service model for read and write access to a replicated database or file system. The goal is to provide clients with a choice of service guarantees and to separate the specification of a client´s needs from the mechanisms implemented to meet those needs. An analogy is drawn with the quality of service models being explored for communications protocols
