On Byzantine generals with alternative plans

This paper proposes a variation of the Byzantine generals problem (or Byzantine consensus). Each general has a set of good plans and a set of bad plans. The problem is to make all loyal generals agree on a good plan proposed by a loyal general, and never on a bad plan. Key words: distributed computing, fault tolerance, Byzantine faults, agreement, consensus
