On group communication in large-scale distributed systems

Abstract: An increasing number of applications with reliability requirements are being deployed in distributed systems that span large geographic distances or manage large numbers of objects. We consider the process group mechanism as an appropriate application structuring paradigm in such large-scale distributed systems. We give a formal characterization for the attribute "large scale" as applied to distributed systems and examine the technical problems that need to be solved in making group technology scalable. Our de… Show more

“…In addition, messages for each component would be delivered to all processes in the system, resulting in increased overhead and bandwidth contention. Note that these problems are not specific to the radar tracking system, but have been observed in other large-scale distributed applications and group communication services [1,4,3].…”
