Many recommend planning for the worst and hoping for the best. In this paper we devise efficient indulgent consensus algorithms that can tolerate crash failures and arbitrarily lo...

This paper studies the inherent trade-off between termination probability and total step complexity of randomized consensus algorithms. It shows that for every integer k, the prob...
When employing a consensus algorithm for state machine replication, should one optimize for the case that all communication links are usually timely, or for fewer timely links? Do...

We study communication complexity of consensus in synchronous message-passing systems with processes prone to crashes. The goal in the consensus problem is to have all the nonfaul...
