Previous multicast research often makes commonly accepted but unverified assumptions on network topologies and group member distribution in simulation studies. In this paper, we p...
In a distributed system, replication of components, such as objects, is a well known way of achieving availability. For increased availability, crashed and disconnected components...
This paper presents a scalable leader election protocol for large process groups with a weak membership requirement. The underlying network is assumed to be unreliable but characte...

We propose a lightweight fault-tolerant multicast and membership service for real-time process groups which may exchange periodic and aperiodic messages. The service supports boun...

— Group communications are important in Mobile Ad hoc Networks (MANET). Multicast is an efficient method to implement the group communications. However, it is challenging to imp...
