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 ...
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 ...
Consider a set of correlated sources located at the nodes of a network, and a set of sinks that are the destinations for some of the sources. The minimization of cost functions which are the product of a function of the rate and a function of the path weig ...
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 ...
This thesis is at the crossing of object-orientation and reliable distributed systems, and contributes to integrate those two research fields. Existing distributed programming environments can be characterised according to whether they rely on object conce ...
We study the distributed infrastructures required for location-independent communication between mobile agents. These infrastructures are problematic: different applications may have very different patterns of migration and communication, and require diffe ...
Distributed-memory parallel computers and networks of workstations (NOWs) both rely on efficient communication over increasingly high-speed networks. Software communication protocols are often the performance bottleneck. Several current and proposed parall ...
Large scale systems are becoming more and more common today. Many distributed applications are emerging that use the capability of world-wide internetworking. Since many applications require availability and consistency in the presence of failures, an adeq ...
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 ...
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 ...
