Abstract
We are interested in communication support for time-critical reliable computing. Over a two-decade period, the distributed computing community has explored a number of reliable communication models. Yet time-critical applications in which rapid response matters more than absolute reliability have received comparatively little attention. We believe that this category of application is becoming common, and propose a new probabilistic reliability model for time-critical communication.
