Abstract

We present a mechanism for reliable multicast based on au- tonomic principles (AutoRM). So-called Beamon nodes ex- change information in a peer-to-peer manner, deriving a sub- jective view of the environment. Applications connect to a Beamon network to participate in reliable communication within groups they declare to be joined to. This short paper describes the general AutoRM concepts, the architecture and protocols used between application and Beamon, as well as between the nodes themselves.
