Abstract :
Group communication is a topic studied since more than twenty years. During this period significant results have been obtained. Nevertheless there are issues that have not been addressed adequately. The paper presents both the important results related to group communication that have been obtained, but also points out what remains to be done to make group communication widely used, and as successful as some of the existing middleware technologies.
