Distributed applications should be able to make use of an object group service in a number of application specific ways. Three main modes of interactions can be identified: (i) re...
Reliable many-to-many multicasting of messages is an integral part of group communication systems. Such systems typically employ a reliable multicast protocol that operates below ...

In order to be able to tolerate the effects of faults, we must first detect the symptoms of faults, i.e. the errors. This paper evaluates the error detection properties of an erro...
This paper describes the OFTT (OLE Fault Tolerance Technology), a fault tolerance middleware toolkit running on the Microsoft Windows NT operating system that provides required fa...
In this paper, we propose new scheduling algorithms to achieve fault security in multiprocessor systems. We consider scheduling of parallel programs represented by directed acycli...
Group communication is a widely studied paradigm for building fault-tolerant distributed systems. The Armada project at the University of Michigan is a collaborative effort with t...
