Group communication undoubtedly is a useful paradigm for many distributed object systems. Provision of a fast and scalable group communication mechanism can considerably improve the efficiency of these systems. In this paper, we propose a new group communication mechanism for large scale distributed objects over a huge heterogeneous inter-network. The proposed mechanism uses Message Dispatcher ...

This document defines a mechanism to run Bidirectional Forwarding Detection (BFD) on Link Aggregation Group (LAG) interfaces. It does so by running an independent Asynchronous mode BFD session on every LAG member link. This mechanism allows the verification of member link continuity, either in combination with, or in absence of, Link Aggregation Control Protocol (LACP). It provides a shorter de...

As a social species, humans have a fundamental need to belong that encourages behaviors consistent with being a good group member. Being a good group member requires the capacity for self-regulation, which allows people to alter or inhibit behaviors that would place them at risk for group exclusion. Self-regulation requires four psychological components. First, people need to be aware of their ...

Cooperative teams can be used to improve the performance of standard genetic programming. However, designing appropriate team member choice and cooperation mechanisms for producing successful teams is an important and sometimes di cult task. This task is complicated by the type of programs being generated. For example, programs producing boolean valued outputs can use simple voting as a coopera...
