A General Characterization of Indulgence

Rachid Guerraoui

An indulgent algorithm is a distributed algorithm that, besides tolerating process failures, also tolerates unreliable information about the interleaving of the processes. This article presents a general characterization of indulgence in an abstract comput ...

Evolutionary Conditions for the Emergence of Communication in Robots

Dario Floreano, Stéphane Magnenat, Laurent Keller, Sara Mitri

Information transfer plays a central role in the biology of most organisms, particularly social species [1, 2]. Although the neurophysiological processes by which signals are produced, conducted, perceived, and interpreted are well understood, the conditio ...

Multicoordinated Paxos

Rodrigo Malta Schmidt, Fernando Pedone

Classic Paxos is a round-based distributed consensus algorithm. Normally, proposals are sent to the round leader and decided in two communication steps more. Fast Paxos extends Classic Paxos by allowing also fast rounds, in which a decision can be learned ...
