Autonomic Group Communication Protocol

Multiple peer processes are exchanging multimedia messages with each other in a network. An autonomic group protocol supports applications with enough quality of service (QoS) in change of QoS supported by the network and application requirement. An autonomic group service is supported for applications by cooperation of multiple autonomous agents. Each agent autonomously takes a class of each protocol function like retransmission. Classes taken by an agent are required to be consistent with but might be different from the others. A group is composed of views in each of which agents autonomously take protocol classes consistent with each other. We discuss a model of autonomic group protocol and present how to autonomously change retransmission ways in a group.
