A case study on event dissemination in an active overlay network environment

In this paper, we describe a case study of the design and development of a group-conferencing tool suite, built on top of an overlay network based event dissemination framework, which is extensible via quality of service template plug-ins. We explain, for each of the tools, how the framework built-in conveniences were explored to create simple but effective distributed solutions, backed by the appropriate quality of service templates, whose design we also discuss. Keywords Case study, event dissemination, quality of service (QoS), multicasting, overlay networks, active networks.
