Abstract-- We propose a formal definition for the timed asynchronous distributed system model. We present extensive measurements of actual message and process scheduling delays and...
It has recently been shown that fair exchange, a security problem in distributed systems, can be reduced to a fault tolerance problem, namely a special form of distributed consensu...

This paper describes a decentralized consistency protocol for survivable storage that exploits local data versioning within each storage-node. Such versioning enables the protocol...

This paper deals with the emulation of atomic read/write (R/W) storage in dynamic asynchronous message passing systems. In static settings, it is well known that atomic R/W storag...
Fault-tolerant (FT) distributed protocols (such as group membership, consensus, etc.) represent fundamental building blocks for many practical systems, e.g., the Google File System...
