Total order broadcast and multicast (also called atomic broadcast/multicast) present an
important problem in distributed systems, especially with respect to fault-tolerance. In short …

A distributed ledger is a tamperproof sequence of data that can be publicly accessed and
augmented by everyone, without being maintained by a centralized party. Distributed …

We introduce the concept of unreliable failure detectors and study how they can be used to
solve Consensus in asynchronous systems with crash failures. We characterise unreliable …

* Comprehensive introduction to the fundamental results in the mathematical foundations of
distributed computing* Accompanied by supporting material, such as lecture notes and …

Consensus is arguably one of the most fundamental problems in distributed computing,
playing also an important role in the area of cryptographic protocols as the enabler of a …

We determine what information about failures is necessary and sufficient to solve
Consensus in asynchronous distributed systems subject to crash failures. In Chandra and …

Byzantine agreement requires a set of parties in a distributed system to agree on a value
even if some parties are corrupted. A new protocol for Byzantine agreement in a completely …

The design and verification of fault-tolerant distributed applications is widely viewed as a
complex endeavor. To a large extent this is due to the fact that the communication primitives …

Using microwaves to treat metal-based materials is rapidly emerging as an energy-efficient
tool to interact with metals for a number of processes such as sintering, melting, brazing …

The problem of reaching agreement in the presence of faults is one of the most fundamental
problems in the field of distributed computing. A particularly interesting variant of this …
