SHIFT: Group Communication with Differentiated MessagesDescription
The project is studying new protocols that make use of application semantics to improve the performance and throughput stability of end-to-end multicast communication.
There are two parallel lines on this work:
- The study of new multicast protocols based on the concept of message obsolescence and message semantics to improve throughput stability on group communication.
- Implementation of semantic multicast protocols on a layered and modular communication framework: Appia.
These protocols can be applied in diverse application fields, such as publish-subscribe and data replication applications.
