Internal forwarding scheme for consistent event transmission in distributed multi-user systems

This paper proposes a communication middleware that provides application developers with simple event transmission methods in an efficient and consistent way regardless of the communication architecture. Consistent end-to-end transmission is achieved via an internal forwarding scheme. Using the proposed scheme, the communication middleware under an application internally forwards an event to one node or to a group of nodes. Qualitative and quantitative experiments show that the proposed internal forwarding scheme reduces the overhead of the application's forwarding tasks.
