How to Choose a Timing Model
When employing a consensus algorithm for state machine replication, should one optimize for the case that all communication links are usually timely, or for fewer timely links? Do...

On termination detection in crash-prone distributed systems with failure detectors
We investigate the problem of detecting termination of a distributed computation in systems where processes can fail by crashing. Specifically, when the communication topology is ...

How Efficient Can Gossip Be? (On the Cost of Resilient Information Exchange)
Gossip protocols, also known as epidemic dissemination schemes, are becoming increasingly popular in distributed systems. Yet, it has remained a partially open question to determin...

Practical Robust Communication in DHTs Tolerating a Byzantine Adversary
—There are several analytical results on distributed hash tables (DHTs) that can tolerate Byzantine faults. Unfortunately, in such systems, operations such as data retrieval and ...

A Simple Fault Tolerant Distributed Hash Table
We introduce a distributed hash table (DHT) with logarithmic degree and logarithmic dilation. We show two lookup algorithms. The first has a message complexity of log n and is ro...

On the Message Complexity of Indulgent Consensus
Many recommend planning for the worst and hoping for the best. In this paper we devise efficient indulgent consensus algorithms that can tolerate crash failures and arbitrarily lo...
