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

Unobtrusive deferred update stabilization for efficient geo-replication
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors propose a novel approach to manage the throughput vs visibility latency tradeoff that emerges when enforcing causal consistency in geo-replicated systems, which consists in allowing full concurrency when processing local updates and using a deferred local serialisation procedure before shipping updates to remote datacenters.
What You Always Wanted to Know About Model Checking of Fault-Tolerant Distributed Algorithms
TL;DR: This paper presents a meta-modelling architecture that automates the very labor-intensive and therefore time-heavy and therefore expensive process of designing and testing distributed algorithms.

Geographic State Machine Replication
TL;DR: GeoPaxos is a protocol that addresses the challenge of coordinating geographically distributed replicas by combining three insights: it decouples order from execution in state machine replication, it induces a partial order on the execution of operations, instead of a total order, and it exploits geographic locality, typical of geo-distributed online services.

Guru: Universal Reputation Module for Distributed Consensus Protocols
TL;DR: Guru as discussed by the authors is a peer-to-peer consensus protocol that ranks nodes based on the outcomes of consensus rounds run by a small committee and adaptively selects the committee according to the current reputation.

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.
