Within only a couple of generations, the so-called digital revolution has taken the world by storm: today, almost all human beings interact, directly or indirectly, at some point in their life, with a computer system. Computers are present on our desks, co ...
Atomic Broadcast, an important abstraction in dependable distributed computing, is usually implemented by many instances of the well-known consensus problem. Some asynchronous consensus algorithms achieve the optimal latency of two (message) steps but cann ...
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 ...
The paper addresses the cost of consensus algorithms. It has been shown that in the best case, consensus can be solved in two communication steps with f < n/2, and in one communication step with f < n/3 (f is the maximum number of faulty processes). This l ...
We show for the first time that standard model checking allows one to completely verify asynchronous algorithms for solving consensus, a fundamental problem in fault-tolerant distributed computing. Model checking is a powerful verification methodology base ...
In many distributed systems, designing an application that maintains consistency and availability despite failure of processes, involves solving some form of agreement. Not surprisingly, providing efficient agreement algorithms is critical for improving th ...
Comparing the Performance of Two Consensus Algorithms with Centralized and Decentralized Communication Schemes Peter Urban and Andre Schiper Protocols that solve agreement problems are essential building blocks for fault tolerant distributed systems. While ...
Performance Comparison of a Rotating Coordinator and a Leader Based Consensus Algorithm Peter Urban, Naohiro Hayashibara, Andre Schiper, and Takuya Katayama Protocols that solve agreement problems are essential building blocks for fault tolerant distribute ...
In a distributed application, high-availability of a critical online service is ensured despite failures by duplicating the vital components of the server. Whilst guaranteeing the access to the server at all times, duplication requires particular care, so ...
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 ...
