In this paper we analyze the requirements access control mechanisms must fulfill in the context of group communication and define a framework for supporting fine-grained access co...
Abstract. 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...
: A general purpose group communication protocol suite called Newtop is described. It is assumed that processes can simultaneously belong to many groups, group size could be large,...
We examine the use of a hop-limit constraint with techniques to provide survivability for connection-oriented ATM group communications. A hop-limit constraint is an approach that ...
Secure group communication protocols, in particular multi-party key agreement and update algorithms, help promote traditional and new Internet multi-party applications such as vid...
Programmers of large-scale trusted systems need tools to simplify tasks such as replicating services or data. Group communication systems achieve this via various flavors of relia...
We propose group communication as an efficient mechanism to support fault tolerance. Our approach is based on an efficient reliable broadcast protocol that requires on average onl...
This paper proposes a family of replication protocols based on group communication in order to address some of the concerns expressed by database designers regarding existing repl...
A widely used computational model for constructing fault-tolerant distributed applications employs atomic transactions for controlling operations on persistent objects. There has ...
This paper reports on the architecture and design of Starfish, an environment for executing dynamic (and static) MPI-2 programs on a cluster of workstations. Starfish is unique in ...
