Failure detectors are a service that provides (approximate) information about process crashes in a distributed system. The well-known “eventually perfect” failure detector, 3P...
This paper tackles the consensus problem in asynchronous systems prone to byzantine failures. One way to circumvent the FLP impossibility result consists in adding synchrony assump...
We present a replication-based approach to fault-tolerant distributed stream processing in the face of node failures, network failures, and network partitions. Our approach aims t...

The demand for network-enabled limited-footprint mobile devices is increasing rapidly. A central challenge that must be addressed in order to use these next-generation devices eff...
We consider a set of clients collaborating through an online service provider that is subject to attacks, and hence y trusted by the clients. We introduce the abstraction of a fai...
