Internet-scale distributed systems often replicate data at multiple geographic locations to
provide low latency and high availability, despite node and network failures. Geo-replicated …

Existing permissioned blockchains often rely on coordination-based consensus protocols to
ensure the safe execution of applications in a Byzantine environment. Furthermore, the …

A conflict-free replicated data type (CRDT) is an abstract data type, with a well defined
interface, designed to be replicated at multiple processes and exhibiting the following …

In a cloud-edge environment, edge devices may not always be connected to the network.
Still, applications may need to access the data on edge devices even when they are not …

Storage systems based on Weak Consistency provide better availability and lower latency
than systems that use Strong Consistency, especially in geo-replicated settings. However …

Distributed applications and web services, such as online stores or social networks, are
expected to be scalable, available, responsive, and fault-tolerant. To meet these steep …

Performance of transactional systems is degraded by update hotspots as conflicts lead to
waiting and wasted work. This is particularly challenging in emerging large-scale database …

Scalability of the control plane in a software-defined network (SDN) is enabled by means of
decentralization of the decision-making logic, ie, by replication of controller functions to …

Conflict-free Replicated Data Types (CRDTs) are abstract data types that support
developers when designing and reasoning about distributed systems with eventual …

Conflict-free replicated data types (CRDTs) are popular for optimistic replication and
ensuring strong eventual consistency (SEC) in distributed systems. However, reversibility is …
