: While lots of consensus algorithms have been proposed for crash-prone asynchronous message-passing systems enriched with a failure detector of the class Ω (the class of eventua...
In this paper, we describe an e cient software-only Distributed Shared Memory (DSM) consistency protocol for an unconventional but important application domain - object transactio...
Crash recovery in database systems aims to provide an acceptable level of protection from failure at a given engineering cost. A large number of recovery mechanisms are known, and...

Asynchronous systems are being viewed as an increasingly viable alternative to purely synchronous systems. This paper gives an overview of the current state of the art in practica...
Fair exchange is one of the most fundamental problems in secure distributed computation. Alice has something that Bob wants, and Bob has something that Alice wants. A fair exchang...
