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

From paxos to CORFU: a flash-speed shared log
TL;DR: The key idea in CORFU is to expose a cluster of network-attached flash devices as a single, shared log to clients running within the data center.

Consensus with an abstract MAC layer
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors study distributed consensus in the radio network setting, and show that consensus is impossible without unique ids or without knowledge of network size (in multihop topologies).

An Extensible Consensus Algorithm Based on PBFT
TL;DR: This work proposes Extensible-PBFT (EPBFT) consensus algorithm, it can take different steps to reach consensus according to the network environment of the system, and it can also identify Byzantine nodes and reduce confirmation latency.

The Performance of Paxos in the Cloud
TL;DR: The results of an extensive performance evaluation conducted using four open-source implementations of Paxos deployed in Amazon's EC2, finding that each implementation is optimized in a number of different ways, resulting in very different behavior.

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.
