The Impact of RDMA on Agreement

Rachid Guerraoui, Mihail Igor Zablotchi, Naama Ben David

Remote Direct Memory Access (RDMA) is becoming widely available in data centers. This technology allows a process to directly read and write the memory of a remote host, with a mechanism to control access permissions. In this paper, we study the fundamenta ...

Scalable Byzantine Reliable Broadcast

Rachid Guerraoui, Dragos-Adrian Seredinschi, Matej Pavlovic, Matteo Monti

Byzantine reliable broadcast is a powerful primitive that allows a set of processes to agree on a message from a designated sender, even if some processes (including the sender) are Byzantine. Existing broadcast protocols for this setting scale poorly, as ...

Threshold Logical Clocks for Asynchronous Distributed Coordination and Consensus

Bryan Alexander Ford

Consensus protocols for asynchronous networks are usually complex and inefficient, leading practical systems to rely on synchronous protocols. This paper attempts to simplify asynchronous consensus by building atop a novel threshold logical clock abstracti ...

Asynchronous Byzantine Machine Learning (the case of SGD)

Rachid Guerraoui, Mahsa Taziki, El Mahdi El Mhamdi, Rhicheek Patra, Georgios Damaskinos

Asynchronous distributed machine learning solutions have proven very effective so far, but always assuming perfectly functioning workers. In practice, some of the workers can however exhibit Byzantine behavior, caused by hardware failures, software bugs, c ...

Is conventional knowledge enough? Playing the devil's advocate in the adoption of digital fabrication technology

Paolo Tombesi, Sofia Colabella

Building on the research on the industrial potential of digital fabrication technologies commenced by the late University of Melbourne academic, Professor Bharat Dave, this paper explores actual patterns of technological adoption within communities of prac ...

Comparing expert and novice concept map construction through a talk-aloud protocol

Beat Adrian Schwendimann

Concept maps can be used as generative assessment tools to identify changes in learner’s understanding. However, concept map analysis usually only focuses on the final product. This case study used a talk aloud protocol to study and compare the concept map ...

Beyond One Third Byzantine Failures

Rachid Guerraoui, Anne-Marie Kermarrec, Cheng Wang

The Byzantine agreement problem requires a set of

n

processes to agree on a value sent by a transmitter, despite a subset of

b

processes behaving in an arbitrary, i.e. Byzantine, manner and sending corrupted messages to all processes in the system. It ...

Knowledge-based decision support for improving the adaptive product development process

Predrag Spasojevic

The product development process (PDP) is a complex process encompassing many very diverse activities, and involving a fairly big number of actors, spread across different professions, teams and companies. In todayâs product development, more often than n ...

Unsupervised Identification and Prediction of Foothold Robustness

Roland Siegwart, Marco Hutter

This paper addresses the problem of evaluating and estimating the mechanical robustness of footholds for legged robots in unstructured terrain. In contrast to approaches that rely on human expert knowledge or human defined criteria to identify appropriate ...

Highly Dynamic Distributed Computing with Byzantine Failures

Rachid Guerraoui, Anne-Marie Kermarrec, Florian Huc

This paper shows for the first time that distributed computing can be both reliable and efficient in an environment that is both highly dynamic and hostile. More specifically, we show how to maintain clusters of size O(log N), each containing more than two ...
