This paper proposes the use of reliable group communication as a complement to traditional asynchronous messaging in multi-agent systems. In particular, the mechanism of message p...
We propose group communication as an efficient mechanism to support fault tolerance. Our approach is based on an efficient reliable broadcast protocol that requires on average onl...
Abstract— Group communication services have been successfully used to construct applications with high availability, dependability, and real-time responsiveness requirements. Flo...
This paper introduces a fault-tolerant group communication protocol that is aimed at grid and wide area environments. The protocol has two layers. The lower layer provides a total...
: A general purpose group communication protocol suite called Newtop is described. It is assumed that processes can simultaneously belong to many groups, group size could be large,...
