Towards 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 ...

Towards 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 ...

Beyond 1-Safety and 2-Safety for replicated databases: Group-Safety

André Schiper, Matthias Wiesmann

In this paper, we study the safety guarantees of group communication-based database replication techniques. We show that there is a model mismatch between group communication and database, and because of this, classical group communication systems cannot b ...

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 ...

Practical impact of group communication theory

André Schiper

Practical impact of group communication theory Andre Schiper Group communication is an important topic in fault-tolerant distributed applications. The paper summarizes the main contributions of practical importance that contributed to our current understan ...

Group communication based on standard interfaces

André Schiper, Matthias Wiesmann, Xavier Défago

While group communication system have been proposed for some time, they are still not used much in actual systems. We believe that one reason for this is the lack of standardisation of group communication system interfaces. The paper proposes an architectu ...

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 systems (in which all processes are created at the start of the computation), current ...

A Step towards a New Generation of Group Communication Systems

André Schiper, Sergio Mena

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 ...
