The threat of commoditization poses a real challenge for service providers. While the end-to-end principle is often paraphrased as “dumb network, smart end-systems”, the origi...
We study the fifo and causal multicast problem, two group-communication abstractions that deliver messages in an order consistent with their context. With fifo multicast, the co...
The goal of this research is to create robust execution circuits for communication software which can distribute over a network and which continues to provide its service despite p...
NEBLO is a library and runtime system based on a structured overlay network. The API presented by NEBLO offers simple primitives and powerful mechanisms for programming generic p...
— In this paper, we propose a cost-based model to evaluate the resources that each node has to contribute for participating in an overlay network. Such a cost model allows to gau...
