A Plug-and-Play fault diagnosis approach for large-scale systems

Giancarlo Ferrari Trecate

This paper proposes a novel Plug-and-Play (PnP) dynamic approach for the monitoring of Large-Scale Systems (LSSs). The proposed architecture exploits a distributed Fault Detection and Isolation (FDI) methodology for nonlinear LSS in a PnP framework. The LS ...

Implementation of a Distributed Computation Framework

Matej Pavlovic

This project aims at building a dynamic and scalable framework for Byzantine fault tolerant distributed computation. By organizing nodes of a distributed system in fault-tolerant clusters, we mask Byzantine failures of single nodes and provide an abstracti ...

Highly Dynamic Distributed Computing with Byzantine Failures

Rachid Guerraoui, Anne-Marie Kermarrec, Florian Huc

This paper shows for the first time that distributed computing can be both reliable and efficient in an environment that is both highly dynamic and hostile. More specifically, we show how to maintain clusters of size O(log N), each containing more than two ...

Byzantine Agreement with Homonyms

Rachid Guerraoui, Anne-Marie Kermarrec, Eric Ruppert

So far, the distributed computing community has either assumed that all the processes of a distributed system have distinct identifiers or, more rarely, that the processes are anonymous and have no identifiers. These are two extremes of the same general mo ...

Abstractions for Solving Consensus and Related Problems with Byzantine Faults

Zarko Milosevic

We become increasingly dependent on online services; therefore, their availability and correct behavior become increasingly important. Software replication is a popular technique for ensuring that computer systems continue to provide a correct service even ...

A High-Throughput Byzantine Fault-Tolerant Protocol

Nikola Knezevic

State-machine replication (SMR) is a software technique for tolerating failures and for providing high availability in large-scale systems, through the use of commodity hardware. A replicated state-machine comprises a number of replicas, each of which runs ...

Automated Vulnerability Discovery in Distributed Systems

Rachid Guerraoui, George Candea, Radu Banabic

In this paper we present a technique for automatically assessing the amount of damage a small number of participant nodes can inﬂict on the overall performance of a large distributed system. We propose a feedback-driven tool that synthesizes malicious node ...

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 \emph{the algorithms we analyzed}, in most cases, the decentralized ...

The impossibility of boosting distributed service resilience

Rachid Guerraoui

We study f -resilient services, which are guaranteed to operate as long as no more than f of the associated processes fail. We prove three theorems asserting the impossibility of boosting the resilience of such services. Our ﬁrst theorem allows any connect ...
