TLDR
The Horus system offers flexible group communication support for distributed applications, allowing applications to only pay for services they use, and for groups with different communication needs to coexist in a single system.Abstract:
The Horus system offers flexible group communication support for distributed applications. It is extensively layered and highly reconfigurable, allowing applications to only pay for services they use, and for groups with different communication needs to coexist in a single system. The approach encourages experimentation with new communication properties and incremental extension of the system, and enables us to support a variety of application-oriented interfaces.read more

Dependability Issues in Smart Networks
TL;DR: The objective of the paper is to discuss some dependability issues in the context of these networks and to pinpoint some challenges.
Dissertation
Typed Groups for the Grid
TL;DR: This thesis proposes a scheme where, given a Java class, one can initiate group communications using the standard public methods of the class together with the classical dot notation, providing an elegant and effective way to transparently gather operations.

Distilling the ingredients of P2P live streaming systems
TL;DR: This work shows how to decompose popular P2P live streaming systems, such as CoolStreaming, BitTorrent Live and others, into ingredients and how STREAMAID can help optimize and adapt these protocols.

A reliable multicast framework for light-weight sessions and application level framing
TL;DR: An adaptive algorithm that uses the results of previous loss recovery events to adapt the control parameters used for future loss recovery is demonstrated, and the reliable multicast delivery algorithm provides good performance over a wide range of underlying topologies.

Probabilistic clock synchronization
TL;DR: A probabilistic method is proposed for reading remote clocks in distributed systems subject to unbounded random communication delays and can achieve clock synchronization precisions superior to those attainable by previously published clock synchronization algorithms.

Hypervisor-based fault tolerance
TL;DR: In this article, the authors describe protocols to implement a fault-tolerant computing system, which augment the hypervisor of a virtual machine manager and coordinate a primary virtual machine with its backup.
