TLDR
The Paxon parliament's protocol provides a new way of implementing the state machine approach to the design of distributed systems.
Abstract
Recent archaeological discoveries on the island of Paxos reveal that the parliament functioned despite the peripatetic propensity of its part-time legislators. The legislators maintained consistent copies of the parliamentary record, despite their frequent forays from the chamber and the forgetfulness of their messengers. The Paxon parliament's protocol provides a new way of implementing the state machine approach to the design of distributed systems.

Continuous consensus via common knowledge

TL;DR: It is shown that ConCon is an optimum protocol for continuous consensus, maintaining the most up-to-date core possible at all times, and the ConCon protocol can be viewed as a simplification of the Moses and Tuttle construction for computing the common knowledge at a given point.

Time, clocks, and the ordering of events in a distributed system

TL;DR: In this paper, the concept of one event happening before another in a distributed system is examined, and a distributed algorithm is given for synchronizing a system of logical clocks which can be used to totally order the events.
