Recent advances in process synthesis, design, operations, and control have created an increasing demand for efficient numerical algorithms for optimizing a dynamic system coupled with discrete decisions; these problems are termed mixed-integer dynamic opti ...
We introduce quittable consensus, a natural variation of the consensus problem, where processes have the option to agree on “quit” if failures occur, and we relate this problem to the well-known problem of non-blocking atomic commit. We then determine the ...
This paper investigates the time-complexity of the non-blocking atomic commit (NBAC) problem in a synchronous distributed model where t out of n processes may fail by crashing. We exhibit for t > 3 an inherent trade-off between the fast abort property of N ...
This paper addresses the question of the weakest failure detector for solving the Non-Blocking Atomic Commit problem (NBAC) in a message passing system where processes can fail by crashing. We define a failure detector, denoted by X, which we show to be su ...
In this paper, we propose a novel approach for solving the reliable broadcast problem in a probabilistic unreliable model. Our approach consists in first defining the optimality of probabilistic reliable broadcast algorithms and the adaptiveness of algorit ...
Many reliable distributed systems are consensus-based and typically operate under two modes: a fast normal mode in failure-free periods, and a slower recovery mode following failures. A lot of work has been devoted to optimizing the normal mode, but little ...
Agreement problems, such as consensus, atomic broadcast, and group membership, are central to the implementation of fault-tolerant distributed systems. Despite the diversity of algorithms that have been proposed for solving agreement problems in the past y ...
Recent papers [GK03,HT03] define the weakest failure detector for solving the Non-Blocking Atomic Commit problem (NBAC) in a message passing system where processes can fail by crashing and a majority of processes never crash. In this paper, we generalize t ...
This paper presents a multiagent-system for integrating AL-ICE: a real-life, distributed, large-scale particle physics experiment of the LHC project at CERN. The work is concerned with solving the large-scale coordination problem using a distributed constr ...
This paper addresses the question of the weakest failure detector to solve the Non-Blocking Atomic Commit (NBAC) problem in an asynchronous system. We define the set A of timeless failure detectors which excludes detectors that provide information about gl ...
