Reconfiguring a state machine

Reconfiguration means changing the set of processes executing a distributed system. We explain several methods for reconfiguring a system implemented using the state-machine approach, including some new ones. We discuss the relation between these methods and earlier reconfiguration algorithms--especially view changing in group communication. Contents
