Atomicity (or linearizability) is a commonly used consistency criterion for distributed services and objects. Although atomic object implementations are abundant, proving that algo...

This paper presents lower bounds on the time- and space-complexity of implementations that use the k compare-and-swap (k-CAS) synchronization primitives. We prove that the use of ...
Abstract. Allowing read operations to return stale data with low probability has been proposed as a means to increase availability in quorums systems. Existing solutions that allow...
Abstract. We consider the problem of overcoming (Distributed) Denial of Service (DoS) attacks by realistic adversaries that can eavesdrop on messages, or parts thereof, but with so...
We study greedy routing over n nodes placed in a ring, with the distance between two nodes defined to be the clockwise or the absolute distance between them along the ring. Such ...
We analyze the problem of efficient distributed storage of information in a message-passing environment where both less than one third of the servers, as well as an arbitrary num...
