Abstract

Group communication denotes a set of membership, communication, and coordination services that support the development of distributed applications based on process groups. These services are typically provided by a protocol stack, which includes layers such as failure detectors, reliable multicast, view-synchrony, total order, among others. The performance of these protocols is highly dependent on the operational envelope, including network latency, link error rates, load profile, etc. Therefore, multiple implementations of each layer have been proposed, each excelling in a different scenario. This work addresses the architectures and mechanisms required to build adaptive protocol composition frameworks, namely those supporting group communication, such that they can cope with a wide range of varying requirements.
