Since the introduction of the concept of failure detectors, several consensus and atomic broadcast algorithms based on these detectors have been published. The performance of these algorithms is often affected by a trade-off between the number of communica ...

The performance of consensus and atomic broadcast algorithms using failure detectors is often affected by a trade-off between the number of communication steps and the number of messages needed to reach a decision. In this paper, we model the performance o ...
Structured overlay networks is an important and interesting primitive that can be used by diverse peer-to-peer applications. Multiple overlays can result either because of network partitioning or (more likely) because different groups of peers build such o ...
Gossip-based communication protocols are appealing in large-scale distributed applications such as information dissemination, aggregation, and overlay topology management. This paper factors out a fundamental mechanism at the heart of all these protocols: ...
In this work we present a multi-path routing strategy that guarantees in-order packet delivery for Networks on Chips (NoCs). We present a design methodology that uses the routing strategy to optimally spread the traffic in the NoC to minimize the network b ...
We review an example of wide-area mobile agent applications: video-on-demand, long-lived scientific computation, and collaborative work, and the design of a distributed infrastructure required in each of these applications for location-independent communic ...
Nowadays, networked computers are present in most aspects of everyday life. Moreover, essential parts of society come to depend on distributed systems formed of networked computers, thus making such systems secure and fault tolerant is a top priority. If t ...
Internet communications have traditionally been based on point-to-point connections. This technique is called unicast and allows one sender and one receiver to communicate. The Internet saw the appearance of multicast protocols in the early 90's. Multicast ...
We consider the problem of distributing high-quality video signals over IP multicast in large Local Area Networks (LANs), under real-time delay constraints, and with software-only processing. In a large LAN (such as the network of a university campus, or t ...

Today's Middleware is facing increasing pressures to operate in more open, loosely coupled and complex environments. E-business systems require seamless transactions between multiple enterprises and software components are becoming more opaque in an effort ...
