In the asynchronous distributed system model, consensus is obtained in one communication step if all processes propose the same value. Assuming f < n/3, this is regardless of t...
In previous work, it has been shown how to solve atomic broadcast by reduction to consensus on messages. While this solution is theoretically correct, it has its limitations in pr...
Randomized agreement protocols have been around for more than two decades. Often assumed to be inefficient due to their high expected communication and time complexities, they ha...

This practical experience report presents the results of an investigation into the threat of attacks associated with the chat medium IRC. A combination of simulated users (i.e., b...
Fault-tolerant time-triggered communication relies on the synchronization of local clocks. The startup problem is the problem of reaching a sufficient degree of synchronization a...
