On the Specification of Partitionable Group Membership
André Schiper, Stefan Pleisch, Olivier Rütti
Group communication in partitionable systems has been the focus of many research activities over the last decade. Fault-tolerant applications in a partitionable system model generally rely on two basic services: a group membership service and a reliable mu ...
IEEE Computer Society2008DRIFT: Efficient message ordering in ad hoc networks using virtual flooding
We present DRIFT --- a total order multicast algorithm for ad hoc networks with mobile or static nodes. Due to the ad hoc nature of the network, DRIFT uses flooding for message propagation. The key idea of DRIFT is virtual flooding --- a way of using unrel ...
2006Towards JMS Compliant Group Communication - a Semantic Mapping
André Schiper, Matthias Wiesmann, Stefan Pleisch, Arnas Kupsys
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 ...
2004Towards Flexible Finite-State Machine Based Protocol Composition
André Schiper, Sergio Mena, Nils Richard Ekwall, Stefan Pleisch
Group communication provides primitives that ensure reliable and ordered delivery of messages to a group of destinations. It is an important building block for replicated fault-tolerant applications such as replicated databases. In the past, most group com ...
2004Approaches to Fault-Tolerant and Transactional Mobile Agent Execution -- An Algorithmic View
Over the past years, mobile agent technology has attracted considerable attention, and a significant body of literature has been published. To further develop mobile agent technology, reliability mechanisms such as fault tolerance and transaction support a ...

2004Towards Flexible Finite-State-Machine-Based Protocol Composition
André Schiper, Sergio Mena, Nils Richard Ekwall, Stefan Pleisch
We propose a novel approach to the composition of group communication protocols. In this approach, components are modelled as finite state machines communicating via signals. We introduce two building blocks, called adaptor and adaplexor, that ease the dev ...

2003Replicated Invocation
André Schiper, Stefan Pleisch, Arnas Kupsys
In today's systems, application are composed from various components that may be located on different machines. The components may have to collaborate in order to service a client request. More specifically, a client request to one component may trigger a ...
2003Fault-tolerant and transactional mobile agent execution
Mobile agents constitute a computing paradigm of a more general nature than the widely used client/server computing paradigm. A mobile agent is essentially a computer program that acts autonomously on behalf of a user and travels through a network of heter ...
