Of Choices, Failures and Asynchrony: The Many Faces of Set Agreement

Rachid Guerraoui, Seth Gilbert, Dan Alistarh

Set agreement is a fundamental problem in distributed computing in which processes collectively choose a small subset of values from a larger set of proposals. The impossibility of fault-tolerant set agreement in asynchronous networks is one of the seminal ...

How to Allocate Tasks Asynchronously

Rachid Guerraoui, Seth Gilbert, Dan Alistarh

Asynchronous task allocation is a fundamental problem in distributed computing in which p asynchronous processes must execute a set of m tasks. Also known as write-all or do-all, this problem been studied extensively, both independently and as a key buildi ...

Generating Fast Indulgent Algorithms

Rachid Guerraoui, Seth Gilbert, Dan Alistarh

Synchronous distributed algorithms are easier to design and prove correct than algorithms that tolerate asynchrony. Yet, in the real world, networks experience asynchrony and other timing anomalies. In this paper, we address the question of how to efficien ...

Optimal-Time Adaptive Strong Renaming, with Applications to Counting

Seth Gilbert, Dan Alistarh, Morteza Zadimoghaddam

We give two new randomized algorithms for tight renaming, both of which work against an adaptive adversary. The first uses repeated sampling over a sequence of arrays of decreasing size to assign unique names to each of

The Complexity of Renaming

Rachid Guerraoui, Seth Gilbert, Dan Alistarh

We study the complexity of renaming, a fundamental problem in distributed computing in which a set of processes need to pick distinct names from a given namespace. We prove an individual lower bound of Omega(k) process steps for deterministic renaming into ...

Fast Randomized Test-and-Set and Renaming

Rachid Guerraoui, Seth Gilbert, Dan Alistarh, Hagit Albo Attiya, Andrei Giurgiu

Most people believe that renaming is easy: simply choose a name \emph{at random}; if more than one process selects the same name, then try again. We highlight the issues that occur when trying to implement such a scheme and shed new light on the read-write ...

Securing Every Bit: Authenticated Broadcast in Radio Networks

Rachid Guerraoui, Seth Gilbert, Dan Alistarh, Zarko Milosevic

This paper studies non-cryptographic authenticated broad- cast in radio networks subject to malicious failures. We in- troduce two protocols that address this problem. The first, NeighborWatchRB, makes use of a novel strategy in which honest devices monito ...

Collaborative Scoring with Dishonest Participants

Rachid Guerraoui, Seth Gilbert, Faezeh Malakouti

Consider a set of players that are interested in collectively evaluating a set of objects. We develop a collaborative scori ng protocol in which each player evaluates a subset of the objects, after which we can accurately predict each players’ individual o ...
