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.

ATM multipeer communication using a two-layer architecture

TL;DR: A novel two-layer architecture especially suitable for ADSL and cable networks, which bridge the gap between LANs and the WAN is proposed, a first analysis is given, and open issues are presented.

Análise do tempo de resposta da composição de micro-protocolos

J. Ventura
TL;DR: This thesis presents a general framework to analyse the timing behavior of protocol stacks derived from the composition of micro-protocols, and illustrates the use of a set of modular fault-tolerant group communication protocols designed for the CAN field-bus.

Distribution of route-impacting control information in a publish/subscribe system with delivery guarantees

TL;DR: This dissertation designs a generic algorithm that propagates control information and performs content-based routing and delivers events reliably and shows an encoding using virtual time vectors that supports reliable delivery and deterministic dynamic access control in redundant broker networks.

An Analysis of a Virtually Synchronous Protocol.

TL;DR: A corrected version of the CBCAST protocol, developed by Birman, Schiper and Stephenson in 1991 and used in their ISIS platform, is described and its formal properties are proved.

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.
