The overhead of consensus failure recovery
Abstract Many reliable distributed systems are consensusbased and typically operate under two modes: a fast normal mode in failure-free synchronous periods, and a slower recovery m...

Bounds for Functions of Dependent Risks
Abstract The problem of finding the best-possible lower bound on the distribution of a non-decreasing function of n dependent risks is solved when n = 2 and a lower bound on the co...

Randomized algorithms for tracking distributed count, frequencies, and ranks
We show that randomization can lead to significant improvements for a few fundamental problems in distributed tracking. Our basis is the count-tracking problem, where there are k...

Average Stopping Set Weight Distributions of Redundant Random Ensembles
In this paper, redundant random ensembles are defined and their average stopping set (SS) weight distributions are analyzed. A redundant random ensemble consists of a set of binar...

A New Algorithm to Solve Synchronous Consensus for Dependent Failures
Fault tolerant algorithms are often designed under the t-out-of-n assumption, which is based on the assumption that all processes or components fail independently with equal proba...
