Independent Faults in the Cloud

Rachid Guerraoui, Maysam Yabandeh

Byzantine fault tolerant (BFT) protocols are replication-based solutions to the problem of tolerating the arbitrary failures of software and hardware components. The essential assumption for replication is independence of failures. In this paper, we catego ...

Distributed Agreement with Optimal Communication Complexity

Seth Gilbert

We consider the problem of fault-tolerant agreement in a crash-prone synchronous system. We present a new randomized consensus algorithm that achieves optimal communication efficiency, using only O(n) bits of communication, and terminates in (almost optima ...

A Fault-Tolerant Token based Atomic Broadcast Algorithm

André Schiper, Nils Richard Ekwall

Many atomic broadcast algorithms have been published in the last twenty years. Token based algorithms represent a large class of these algorithms. Interestingly, all the token based atomic broadcast algorithms rely on a group membership service and none of ...

Fast Access to Distributed Atomic Memory

Rachid Guerraoui, Marko Vukolic, Ron Levy, Partha Dutta

We study eﬃcient and robust implementations of an atomic read-write data structure over an asynchronous distributed message-passing system made of reader and writer processes, as well as a number of servers implementing the data structure. We determine the ...

Polynomial Filter Design for Quantized Consensus

Pascal Frossard, Effrosyni Kokiopoulou, Hyung Gon Park

We consider the problem of distributed average consensus where sensors exchange quantized data with their neighbors. We deploy a polynomial filtering approach in the network nodes in order to accelerate the convergence of the consensus problem. The quantiz ...

A Leader-free Byzantine Consensus Algorithm

André Schiper, Fatemeh Borran

The paper considers the consensus problem in a partially synchronous system with Byzantine faults. All deterministic algorithms that solve consensus in this context are leader-based. However, in the context of Byzantine faults, leader-based algorithms are ...

Generic construction of consensus algorithms for benign and Byzantine faults

André Schiper, Zarko Milosevic, Olivier Rütti

The paper proposes a generic consensus algorithm that highlights the basic and common features of known consensus algorithms. The parameters of the generic algorithm encapsulate the core differences between various consensus algorithms, including leader-ba ...

Unifying Byzantine Consensus Algorithms with Weak Interactive Consistency

André Schiper, Martin Hutle, Zarko Milosevic

The paper considers the consensus problem in a partially synchronous system with Byzantine processes. In this context, the literature distinguishes (1) authenticated Byzantine faults, where messages can be signed by the sending process (with the assumption ...

Using Three States for Binary Consensus on Complete Graphs

Etienne Perron, Dinkar Vasudevan, Milan Vojnovic

We consider the binary consensus problem where each node in the network initially observes one of two states and the goal for each node is to eventually decide which one of the two states was initially held by the majority of the nodes. Each node contacts ...
