Research Issues in the Next Generation Group Communication Services

Abstract

The main objective of the proposed research was to investigate five important practical issues iii the design of high performance, heterogeneous group communication services for constructing the next generation defense applications. These issues are: (1) Fail Awareness: providing fail awareness property in group communication services under a timed asynchronous distributed system model, (2) Heterogeneity: handling heterogeneity in computing components and communication networks in the design and implementation of group communication services, (3) High Speed Communication: exploiting high-speed communication networks such as ATM, Myrinet, and Internet2 in the design and implementation of group communication services, (4) Versatility: improving the versatility of group communication services, and (5) High Performance: providing high performance under several different operating conditions.
