Abstract :
In distributed applications like teleconferences, a group of multiple processes cooperate, where messages exchanged among the processes are required to be causally delivered. The processes exchange types of multimedia objects. The multimedia objects are longer than traditional messages and are structured. The authors discuss novel types of causally precedent relations among multimedia objects transmitted in the network. They discuss a protocol to causally deliver multimedia objects in a group of processes. The authors also show the evaluation of the protocol
