W th large numbers of geographically dispersed clients,a centralized approach to Internet-based application development is not scalable and also not dependable.This paper presents a decentralized approach to dependable Internet based application development,consisting of a logical structuring of collaborating sub-systems of geographically apart replicated servers.Two implementations of an Internet auction,one using a centralized approach and the other using our decentralized approach,are described.To evaluate the scalability of the two approaches,a number of experiments are performed on these implementations and the results presented here.
