Message ordering is a fundamental abstraction in distributed systems. However, ordering guarantees are usually purely "syntactic," that is, message "semantics" ...
In ad hoc wireless networks, a successful broadcasting requires that the nodes forwarding the broadcast packet form a connected dominating set to ensure the coverage. An efficien...
Atomic Broadcast, used for example in state machine replication, requires three communication steps. Optimistic Atomic Broadcast requires only two steps if all processes receive m...
The paper focuses on the problem to guarantee reliable and ordered message delivery to the operational sites of a CAN-Bus network. The contributions of the paper are firstly a hard...
Reliable multicast protocols can strongly simplify the design of distributed applications. However, it is hard to sustain a high multicast throughput when groups are large and het...
