Obtaining good performance from a distributed replicated database that allows update transactions to originate at any site while ensuring one-copy serializability is a challenge. ...
Abstract. Multicasting is increasingly used as an efficient communication mechanism for group-oriented applications in the Internet. In order to offer secrecy for multicast applic...
The framework of this paper is the design of complex communication protocols by simulation, based on formal description techniques (FDT). We propose a general-purpose scalable mod...
IP multicast was first proposed to improve the performance of applications that require group communications. Still, many years after its initial proposal, IP multicast is not wi...
Abstract— Group communication services have been successfully used to construct applications with high availability, dependability, and real-time responsiveness requirements. Flo...
