The researchers whose trusted networks rank it highest, strongest advocate first. Every researcher gets a different order.

Secure and Efficient Asynchronous Broadcast Protocols (2001, background): “[44] survey and compare various specifications found in the literature and implemented in practical systems.”
Zab: High-performance broadcast for primary-backup systems (2011, background): “Note that our notion of instance shares some of the properties of views of group communication [8], but it presents some key differences.”
Blockchain Consensus Protocols in the Wild (2017, neutral): “This assumption contrasts with view-synchronous replication [26], where the group composition may change implicitly by removing nodes perceived as unavailable.”
Sinfonia: a new paradigm for building scalable distributed systems (2007, background): “Intuitively, a group communication service [2, 8] is a chat room for distributed applications: processes can join and leave the room (called a group) and broadcast messages to it.”
No compromises: distributed transactions with consistency, availability, and performance (2015, methodology): “We solve this problem by using precise membership [10] to ensure that machines agree on the current configuration membership and send one-sided operations only to machines that are members.”
