Book Synopsis Programming Language Support for Multicast Communication in Distributed Systems by : Eric C. Cooper
Download or read book Programming Language Support for Multicast Communication in Distributed Systems written by Eric C. Cooper. This book was released on 1990. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The main contribution of the paper is the introduction of a spectrum of abstractions for multicast communication, in increasing order of both desirability and semantic level: functional mapping, iterators, and streams. Examples of distributed algorithms from the literature are used to illustrate the expressive power of each mechanism. Streams in particular provide first-class status for multicast communciation in progress, and can be implemented efficiently in typical multicast communication architectures."
