In ad hoc wireless networks, a successful broadcasting requires that the nodes forwarding the broadcast packet form a connected dominating set to ensure the coverage. An efficien...
Optimistically Terminating Consensus (OTC) is a variant of Consensus that decides if all correct processes propose the same value. It is surprisingly easy to implement: processes ...
Abstract. In this paper we propose an optimistic two-party fair exchange protocol which does not rely on a centralized trusted third party. Instead, the fairness of the protocol re...
In traditional optimistic distributed simulation protocols, a logical process(LP) receiving a straggler rolls back and sends out anti-messages. Receiver of an anti-message may als...
This short paper establishes lower bounds on the time complexity of algorithms solving the generic broadcast problem. The paper shows that (a) to deliver messages in one round, no...
