Solving Atomic Broadcast with Indirect Consensus
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...

One-step Consensus with Zero-Degradation
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...
