Communication in a Distributed Environment
Idalina Videira, Paulo Verı́ssimo, Helena Sarmento · 1995
In this paper a new communication service is presented. A distributed architecture with communication agents in each tool and in each host is adopted. The environment is modelled as a set or a hierarchy of groups of components, and multicast communication is used inside and between those groups. This approach resulted in significants improvements in throughput, network traffic and fault-tolerance when compared to centralised approaches. For throughput, a comparison with ToolTalk demonstrates the better performance. These keywords were added by machine and not by the authors. This process is experimental and the keywords may be updated as the learning algorithm improves.
