Atomic broadcast in particular, and group communication in general, have mainly been specified and implemented in a system model where processes do not recover after a crash. The model is called crash-stop. The drawback of this model is its inability to ex ...
Many atomic broadcast algorithms have been published in the last 20 years. Token-based algorithms represent a large class of these algorithms. Interestingly, all the token-based atomic broadcast algorithms rely on a group membership service and none of the ...
Atomic broadcast is a useful abstraction for implementing fault-tolerant distributed applications such as state-machine replication. Although a number of algorithms solving atomic broadcast have been published, the problem of bounding the memory used by th ...

Modularity is a desirable property of complex software systems, since it simplifies code reuse, verification, maintenance, etc. However, the use of loosely coupled modules introduces a performance overhead. This overhead is often considered negligible, but ...
Quorum systems (introduced in the late seventies) and atomic broadcast (introduced later) are two techniques to manage replicated data. Despite of the fact that these two techniques are now well known, the advantage of atomic broadcast over quorum systems ...
