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.

A Specification-based State Replication Approach for Digital Twins

TL;DR: A novel state replication approach that first identifies stimuli based on the system's specification and then replicates them in a virtual environment is proposed and shown to be feasible.

Introducing the new paradigm of Social Dispersed Computing: Applications, Technologies and Challenges

TL;DR: This new computing paradigm that is identified is called Social Dispersed Computing, analyzing key themes in it that includes a new outlook on its relation to agent based applications and provides supportive application examples that include next generation electrical energy distribution networks, next generation mobility services for transportation, and applications for distributed analysis and identification of non-recurring traffic congestion in cities.

DPaxos: Managing Data Closer to Users for Low-Latency and Mobile Applications

TL;DR: The main objective of DPaxos is to reduce the latency of serving user requests, recovering from failures, and reacting to mobility, and achieves these objectives by a few proposed changes to the traditional Paxos protocol.

Parsimonious asynchronous byzantine-fault-tolerant atomic broadcast

TL;DR: In this article, the authors proposed a protocol with an amortized expected message complexity of O(n)$ per delivered payload, which is the first protocol with message complexity lower than the BFT protocol.

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.
