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.read more

Snapshot creation workflow
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present a snapshot creation technique for a logical unit (LUN) served by a storage input/output (I/O) stack executing on a node of a cluster that organizes data as extents referenced by keys.
Distributed Trust: Supporting Fault-tolerance and Attack-tolerance
Fred B. Schneider,Lidong Zhou +1 more
TL;DR: This paper investigates the coupling of replication with threshold cryptography for use in environments satisfying weak assumptions and yields a new paradigm known as distributed trust, which is the subject of this paper.

Formalizing and Implementing Distributed Ledger Objects
TL;DR: In this article, a distributed ledger object is defined as a sequence of records, and the operations and properties that such an object should support are provided. But the formal abstractions of distributed ledgers are scarce.

Renaissance: A Self-Stabilizing Distributed SDN Control Plane
TL;DR: This paper develops algorithms for an in-band and distributed control plane for SDNs, called Renaissance, which tolerates a wide range of (concurrent) controller, link, and communication failures and develops self-stabilizing algorithms for this plane.

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.

Impossibility of distributed consensus with one faulty process
TL;DR: In this paper, it is shown that every protocol for this problem has the possibility of nontermination, even with only one faulty process.

Concurrency Control and Recovery in Database Systems
TL;DR: In this article, the design and implementation of concurrency control and recovery mechanisms for transaction management in centralized and distributed database systems is described. But this can lead to interference between queries and updates.

Implementing fault-tolerant services using the state machine approach: a tutorial
TL;DR: The state machine approach is a general method for implementing fault-tolerant services in distributed systems and protocols for two different failure models—Byzantine and fail stop are described.
