Abstract
Although the use of groups and group communication is becoming more
and more accepted as an important tool for implementing distributed
applications and algorithms, there is still much controversy about the
way the group paradigm should actually be implemented. In this paper
the authors identify some of the areas in which these controversies
still exist and express their views on the matters causing the
disagreements.
