The Scalable Weakly Consistent Infection-style Process Group Membership (SWIM) Protocol is a group membership protocol based on "outsourced heartbeats" used in distributed systems, first introduced by Abhinandan Das, Indranil Gupta and Ashish Motivala in 2002. It is a hybrid algorithm which combines failure detection with group membership dissemination.
