A Group Communication Framework1

چکیده
This paper presents a general architectural model for group communications which are communications that may involve more than two parties. The concept of group is presented and the concept of group association, which is an instance of group communication, is analysed. Those group associations are modelled as a set of basic components called multicast conversations. At the service boundery, new architectural concepts are introduced to identify a group association as well as its multicast conversations. Then, facilities to handle the group associations and the multicast conversations are defined and the properties of data transfer on a group association are examined. Finally, the paper deals with aspects of group management.

A Dynamic Hierarchy of Intelligent Agents for Network Management
Routing as well as the management of communication networks that support hybrid types of communications requiring quality of service is a hard problem. We present here a framework1 that decomposes the network into a hierarchy of abstract views of the network that summarizes the available bandwidth resources and highlights bottlenecks in the network in order to reduce the complexity of the previ...
متن کاملCellular Production Systems: a Concurrent Cluster Analytic Framework1
In this paper an agglomerative heuristic cluster analysis framework is proposed for application to the part family and machine cell formation problems associated with Group Technology (GT). This framework addresses the notion of concurrently forming clusters of parts (families) and machines (cells) based upon natural between-part and between-machine relationships and the strength of association...

متن کاملThe Impact of Doing Problem-Solving Tasks on Willingness to Communicate, Self-perceived Communication Competence, and Communication Apprehension among Iranian EFL Learners
Willingness to communicate (WTC) plays a central role in learning a second/foreign language. The present study was conducted to investigate the effect of doing problem-solving task on learners’ WTC in English. To fulfill the purpose of the study, 61 pre-intermediate learners were chosen by means of administrating a placement test. Learners were pretested through three scales of WTC and its two ...
