On group communication support in CORBA
IEEE Transactions on Parallel and Distributed Systems, 2001Current group communication services have mostly been implemented on a homogeneous, distributed computing environment. This limits their applicability because most modern distributed computing environment are heterogeneous in nature. This paper describes the design, implementation, and performance evaluation of a CORBA group communication service ...

Efficient support for multiparty communication
1994Communication of multimedia data among multiple parties can be costly in terms of use of network resources if guaranteed quality of service is requested. We believe, however, that knowledge of the functional characteristics of real applications can be helpful to devise new mechanisms to support isochronous communication efficiently.

A communication mechanism supporting actions
Computer Networks and ISDN Systems, 1988Abstract Many systems provide mechanisms for defining groups of logically related operations. For example, atomic transactions are the basic grouping concept in database systems and office activities in office information systems. In this paper, we will represent a mechanism for interprocess communication, which supports grouping of operations and ...
