Replicated object management using group technology

The authors detail the goals of the ROMANCE (replicated object management configurable environment) project and present its software architecture and current status. A fundamental goal of the project is to experiment with group technology. In ROMANCE, distribution and replication are implemented using underlying group communication and membership services. The authors also describe how these tools are used to achieve ROMANCE goals.<<ETX>>
