A Low-level Processor Group Membership Protocol for LANS
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper presents a processor group membership protocol designed to run on top of a local area network. The protocol maintains information about a selected group of stations that explicitly join the protocol by keeping a replica of a global membership table at every member. Additionally, the protocol guarantees that a given station always occupies the same entry in the table. As a result, table indexes do uniquely and universally identify a station and can thus be used as short identi ers. The interest of a processor group membership is twofold: it is a powerful auxiliary for process group membership management and it provides support for e cient message addressing.

A Group Communication Protocol for CORBA
Group communication protocols are used in fault-tolerant systems to maintain strong replica consistency. The FaultTolerant Multicast Protocol (FTMP) described here is a group communication protocol specifically designed for the Common Object Request Broker Architecture (CORBA). FTMP operates over IP Multicast, and consists of the Reliable Multicast Protocol (RMP) that provides reliable source-o...

According to the Evolving Algebra thesis [3], evolving algebras should allow one to specify succinctly any algorithm. There exists substantial evidence con rming this thesis in the case of sequential algorithms (see the annotated bibliography in [3]). In other papers, e.g., [1, 5], evolving algebras are used to specify distributed algorithms. For this paper, we wanted to look at a time-constrai...
متن کاملLow-Overhead Time-Triggered Group Membership
A group membership protocol is presented and proven correct for a synchronous time-triggered model of computation with processors in a ring that broadcast in turn. The protocol, derived from one used for critical control functions in automobiles, accepts a very restrictive fault model to achieve low overhead and requires only one bit of membership information piggybacked on regular broadcasts. ...

Every year, many people lose their lives in road traffic accidents while driving vehicles throughout the world. Providing secure driving conditions highly reduces road traffic accidents and their associated death rates. Fatigue and drowsiness are two major causes of death in these accidents; therefore, early detection of driver drowsiness can greatly reduce such accidents. Results of NTSB inves...
