Advances in the Design and Implementation of Group Communication Middleware

André Schiper, Sergio Mena, Olivier Rütti, Rachele Fuzzati, Daniel Bünzli

Group communication is a programming abstraction that allows a distributed group of processes to provide a reliable service in spite of the possibility of failures within the group. The goal of the project was to improve the state of the art of group commu ...

Dependable Systems

André Schiper

Improving the dependability of computer systems is a critical and essential task. In this context, the paper surveys techniques that allow to achieve fault tolerance in distributed systems by replication. The main replication techniques are first explained ...

Dynamic group communication

André Schiper

Group communication is the basic infrastructure for implementing fault-tolerant replicated servers. While group communication is well understood in the context of static groups (in which the membership does not change), current specifications of dynamic ...

Efficient secure aggregation in VANETs

Jean-Pierre Hubaux, Maxime Raya, Adel Aziz

In VANETs, better communication efficiency can be achieved by sacrificing security and vice versa. But VANETs cannot get started without either of them. In this paper, we propose a set of mechanisms that can actually reconcile these two contradictory requi ...

Considerations on the design of cut-and-cover tunnels

Aurelio Muttoni, Laurent Vulliet, Vincent Labiouse, Sylvain Plumey

The communication shows an alternative for introducing soil-structure interaction in the analysis of cut-and-cover tunnels. An uncoupled method is illustrated through two examples representative of the situations found in practice. The main features of eac ...

Architectural Issues of JMS Compliant Group Communication

Nils Richard Ekwall, Arnas Kupsys

Group communication provides one-to-many communication primitives that simplify the development of highly available services. Despite advances in research and numerous prototypes, group communication stays confined to small niches. To facilitate the accept ...

Efficient Distributed Multiresolution Processing for Data Gathering in Sensor Networks

Razvan Cristescu, Jugoslava Acimovic

We consider large sensor networks where the cost of collecting data from the network nodes to the data gathering sink is critical.~We propose several algorithms that use limited local communication and distributed signal processing to make communication mo ...

Adaptive Distributed Algorithms for Power-Efficient Data Gathering in Sensor Networks

Razvan Cristescu, Jugoslava Acimovic

In this work, we consider the problem of designing adaptive distributed processing algorithms in large sensor networks that are efficient in terms of minimizing the total power spent for gathering the spatially correlated data from the sensor nodes to a si ...

A new look at atomic broadcast in the asynchronous crash-recovery model

André Schiper, Sergio Mena

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 ...

JMSGroups

Arnas Kupsys

Nowadays, computers are the indispensable part of our life. They evolve rapidly and are more and more versatile. Computer networks made the remote corners of the world just a click away. But unavoidably, any software and hardware component is subject to fa ...
