We address the problem of message ordering for reliable multicast communication. End-to-end multicast ordering is useful for ensuring the collective integrity and consistency of d...
PM-PVM is a portable implementation of PVM designed to work on SMP architectures supporting multithreading. PM-PVM portability is achieved through the implementation of the PVM fu...
Designing distributed real-time systems as being composed of communicating objects offers many advantages with respect to modularity and extensibility of these systems. However, d...
Production of reliable and flexible distributed applications is a growing area of interest and research. Various middleware technologies are often used as the communication infras...
In this paper, we quantify the adverse effect of file sharing on the performance of reliable distributed applications. We demonstrate that file sharing incurs significant overhead...
