Timing Analysis of Leader-based and Decentralized Byzantine Consensus Algorithms

André Schiper, Martin Hutle, Fatemeh Borran

We compare in an analytical way two leader-based and decentralized algorithms (that is, algorithms that do not use a leader) for Byzantine consensus with strong validity. We show that for the algorithms we analyzed, in most cases, the decentralized variant ...

Relaxed Atomic Broadcast: State-Machine Replication Using Bounded Memory

André Schiper, Sergio Mena, Omid Shahmirzadi

Atomic broadcast is a useful abstraction for implementing fault-tolerant distributed applications such as state-machine replication. Although a number of algorithms solving atomic broadcast have been published, the problem of bounding the memory used by th ...

Abstractions for asynchronous distributed computing with malicious players

Marko Vukolic

In modern distributed systems, failures are the norm rather than the exception. In many cases, these failures are not benign. Settings such as the Internet might incur malicious (also called Byzantine or arbitrary) behavior and asynchrony. As a result, and ...

Microfabrication and test of an integrated colloid thruster

Herbert Shea, Renato Krpoun

This paper reports on the design, fabrication and test of an integrated colloid micropropulsion system for spacecraft attitude control using the ionic liquid EMI-BF4 as fuel. The principle of operation of the thruster is identical to electrospray ionizatio ...

Securing Vehicular Communications

Jean-Pierre Hubaux, Panagiotis Papadimitratos, Maxime Raya

The road to a successful introduction of vehicular communications has to pass through the analysis of potential security threats and the design of a robust security architecture able to cope with these threats. In this paper, we undertake this challenge. I ...

Scale-up of batch processes via decentralized control

Dominique Bonvin, Benoît Chachuat, Michael Amrhein, Alejandro Gabriel Marchetti

The economic environment in the specialty chemicals industry requires short times to market and thus the ability to develop new products and processes very rapidly. This, in turn, calls for large scale-ups from laboratory to production. Due to scale-relate ...

Assessing the Crash-Failure Assumption of Group Communication Protocols

André Schiper, Sergio Mena

Designing and correctly implementing Group Communication Systems (GCSs) is notoriously difficult. Assuming that processes fail only by crashing provides a powerful means to simplify the theoretical development of these systems. When making this assumption, ...

Comparing Distributed Consensus Algorithms

André Schiper

Peter Urban and Andre Schiper Comparing Distributed Consensus Algorithms Protocols that solve agreement problems are essential building blocks for fault tolerant distributed systems. While many protocols have been published, little has been done to analyze ...
