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...
I will elaborate some principles of ethical conduct in science that correspond to Richard Feynman’s wellknown precepts of “utter honesty” and “leaning over backwards” in...

— Many distributed multiple access (MAC) protocols use an exponential backoff mechanism. In that mechanism, a node picks a random backoff time uniformly in an interval that doubl...
Two of the most difficult problems faced by developers of synchronous groupware applications are the handling of multiple session connections and the maintenance of replicated dat...
