Abstract
We here at Cattox Labs have been greatly influenced by Cheriton and Skeen's recent paper [1]; so influenced, in fact, that although previous versions of our Cattox Programmers Toolkit contained both causally and totally ordered multicast, we decided to remove them. This paper describes our experience. If you haven't already done so you should read their paper now.

A new way to design causally and totally ordered multicast protocols
Multicast protocols must often provide a given property on the order in which messages are delivered. This delivery order may be consistent with local dependences between messages or with causal dependences. A local delivery is defined according to the ...
The experience of interactive storytelling: comparing “fahrenheit” with “façade”
ICEC'11: Proceedings of the 10th international conference on Entertainment ComputingAt the intersection of multimedia, artificial intelligence, and gaming technology, new visions of future entertainment media arise that approximate the “Holodeck” ® idea of interactive storytelling. We report exploratory experiments on the user ...
Early narrative experience: positive segue to narrative gameplay
ACE '06: Proceedings of the 2006 ACM SIGCHI international conference on Advances in computer entertainment technologyThis paper theorizes that children segue into digital narrative game play easily and 'without pause' because of the perception of narrative they develop through their early print narrative experiences. These experiences are multimodal and socially ...
