The remote-procedure-call abstraction, including its derivates (underlying, for example, Java RMI, CORBA, and .NET), currently represents one of the most popular paradigms for devising distributed applications. Objects (when acting as servers) are invoked ...
Group communication provides communication primitives with various semantics and their use greatly simplifies the development of highly available services. However, despite tremendous advances in research and numerous prototypes, group communication stays ...
Structured peer-to-peer overlay networks are a class of algorithms that provide efficient message routing for distributed applications using a sparsely connected communication network. In this paper, we formally verify a typical application running on a fi ...
Publish/subscribe (pub/sub) is considered a valuable middleware architecture that proliferates loose coupling and leverages reconfigurability and evolution. Up to now, existing pub/sub middleware was optimized for static systems where users as well as the ...
The Simple Object-Oriented Concurrent Programming (SCOOP) model proposed by Bertrand Meyer and illustrated through the Eiffel programming language is a simple yet powerful model for concurrent programming. In this paper, we analyze the applicability of the ...

FUSE is a lightweight failure notification service for building distributed systems. Distributed systems built with FUSE are guaranteed that failure notifications never fail. Whenever a failure notification is triggered, all live members of the FUSE group ...
In this paper, we propose a new architecture for group communication middleware. Current group communication systems share some common features, despite the big differences that exist among them. We first point out these common features by describing the m ...
This paper presents a novel development method for interactive and distributed applications. The benefit that this method provides is that the design gives clear guidance towards the implementation. The method is based on three main elements: a concept of ...
