Group communication support for distributed collaboration systems

The Collaborative Computing Transport Layer (CCTL) is a communication substrate consisting of a suite of group communication protocols. The design of CCTL supports the needs of distributed collaborative applications. CCTL is based on a two-level group hierarchy that naturally matches the structure of many collaborative applications and that allows several implementation optimizations. Logical interconnections among processes, called channels, define an efficient, light-weight group mechanism, providing a variety of communication services such as reliability and message ordering. Related channels are associated with a heavy-weight group, called a session, that provides group management services, such as membership, for its associated channels. Sessions and channels run different protocol stacks, allowing a flexible and useful separation of group management semantics and communication service quality. This also allows the efficient reuse of existing group management services when introducing new communication services. This revised version was published online in July 2006 with corrections to the Cover Date.     

Expected Environmental Impacts of Pervasive Computing

Pervasive Computing will bring about both additional loads on and benefits to the environment. The prevailing assessment of positive and negative effects will depend on how effectively energy and waste policy governs the development of ICT infrastructures and applications in the coming years. Although Pervasive Computing is not expected to change the impact of the technosphere on the environment radically, it may cause additional material and energy consumption due to the production and use of ICT as well as severe pollution risks that may come about as a result of the disposal of electronic waste. These first-order environmental impacts are to be set off against the second-order effects, such as higher eco-efficiency due to the possibility to optimize material and energy intensive processes or to replace them by pure signal processing (dematerialization). The potential environmental benefits from such second-order effects are considerable and can outweigh the first-order effects. But changes in demand for more efficient services (third-order effects) can counterbalance these savings. The experience gained thus far with ICT impacts has shown that such a rebound effect occurs in most cases of technological innovations.
