We establish a new worst-case upper bound on the Membership problem: We present a simple algorithm that is able to always achieve Agreement on Views within a single message latenc...
If a groupware system is to be effectively used, especially over a wide-are network such as the Internet, where the quality of networking and computing resources are unpredictable...
Peer-to-peer systems enable efficient resource aggregation and are inherently scalable since they do not depend on any centralized authority. However, lack of a centralized autho...
This paper describes the implementation of a processorgroup membership protocol in an experimental real-time network. The protocol is appropriate for fault-tolerant distributed sy...
View Synchrony (VS) is a powerful abstraction in the design and implementation of dependable distributed systems. By ensuring that processes deliver the same set of messages in ea...
