The use of good random numbers is essential to the integrity of many mission-critical systems. However, when such systems are replicated for Byzantine fault tolerance, a serious i...
Abstract. In recent years, there has been a surge of interest in Javabased volunteer computing systems, which aim to make it possible to build very large parallel computing network...
Clock-related operations are one of the many sources of replica non-determinism and of replica inconsistency in fault-tolerant distributed systems. In passive replication, if the ...

The hybrid redundancy structure found at the cellular level of higher animals provides complex organism with the three key features of a reliability-engineered system: fault toler...
