Abstract
Replication and distributed communication are usually tightly
coupled. This code tangling forbids their independent reuse and
adaptation. In this position paper the problems resulting from
coupling replication with distributed communication are discussed. In
addition, a solution based on separation of concerns is proposed. The
abstractions for each concern are presented as well as their
composition.
