Appia vs. Cactus: Comparing Protocol Composition Frameworks

The paper presents and compares Appia and Cactus, two frameworks for protocol composition. The comparison is based on the experience gained in implementing a faulttolerant Atomic Broadcast service. The paper also gives preliminary performance results, and concludes with a discussion of the most interesting features of the two frameworks, and suggestions for an improved framework.
