Journal ArticleDOI
Probabilistic clock synchronization
TL;DR: A probabilistic method is proposed for reading remote clocks in distributed systems subject to unbounded random communication delays and can achieve clock synchronization precisions superior to those attainable by previously published clock synchronization algorithms.
Proceedings ArticleDOI
Atomic broadcast: from simple message diffusion to byzantine agreement
TL;DR: A famib of atomic broadcast protocols that are tolerant of increasingly general fault classes, which work for arbitrary point-to-point network topologies, can tolerate any number of faults up to network partitioning, use a small number of messages, and achieve in many wes the best possible termination times.
Journal ArticleDOI
Atomic Broadcast
TL;DR: A systematic derivation of a family of atomic broadcast protocols that are tolerant of increasingly general failure classes: omission failures, timing failures, and authentication-detectable Byzantine failures and can tolerate any number of link and process failures up to network partitioning is presented.
Journal ArticleDOI
The timed asynchronous distributed system model
Flaviu Cristian,Christof Fetzer +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors propose a formal definition for the timed asynchronous distributed system model and present extensive measurements of actual message and process scheduling delays and hardware clock drifts, which confirm that this model adequately describes current distributed systems such as a network of workstations.
Journal ArticleDOI
Reaching agreement on processor-group membrship in synchronous distributed systems
TL;DR: Three simple protocols are proposed that provide all correct processors with consistent views of the processor-group membership and guarantee bounded processor failure detection and join delays.
