Experiences with Group Communication Middleware
نویسندگان
چکیده
Group communication is a widely studied paradigm for building fault-tolerant distributed systems. The Armada project at the University of Michigan is a collaborative effort with the Honeywell Technology Center to study how real-world applications use group communication. In this paper, we describe the results of our experience implementing a fault-tolerant distributed radar tracking system, and discuss how we were able to simplify our design and implementation by utilizing additional services built on top of the group communication model.

Access control in ultra-large-scale systems using a data-centric middleware
The primary characteristic of an Ultra-Large-Scale (ULS) system is ultra-large size on any related dimension. A ULS system is generally considered as a system-of-systems with heterogeneous nodes and autonomous domains. As the size of a system-of-systems grows, and interoperability demand between sub-systems is increased, achieving more scalable and dynamic access control system becomes an im...
