Recently, application of network systems (e.g., cloud computing systems) is increasingly prevalent for achieving integration, sharing and efficient utilization of various resources. A parallel task in a network system has multiple subtasks that can be executed in different servers in parallel. However, failures of any subtask inevitably result in that the entire task cannot be complete. To avoid such a situation, the network system can create some copies from a subtask and make them run on different servers simultaneously. This redundant parallel execution manner is an efficient approach to improve performance and guarantee reliability. However, it also brings complexity in modeling, evaluation and optimization. For example, link failures i...
