Timo Warns has developed tractable fault models that, while being non-probabilistic, are accurate for dependent and propagating faults. Using seminal problems such as consensus and constructing coteries, he demonstrates how the new models can be used to design and evaluate effective and efficient means of fault tolerance.

This book presents the most important fault-tolerant distributed programming abstractions and their associated distributed algorithms, in particular in terms of reliable communication and agreement, which lie at the heart of nearly all distributed applications. These programming abstractions, distributed objects or services, allow software designers and programmers to cope with asynchrony and the most important types of failures such as process crashes, message losses, and malicious behaviors of computing entities, widely known under the term "Byzantine fault-tolerance". The author introduces these notions in an incremental manner, starting from a clear specification, followed by algorithms which are first described intuitively and then proved correct. The book also presents impossibility results in classic distributed computing models, along with strategies, mainly failure detectors and randomization, that allow us to enrich these models. In this sense, the book constitutes an introduction to the science of distributed computing, with applications in all domains of distributed systems, such as cloud computing and blockchains. Each chapter comes with exercises and bibliographic notes to help the reader approach, understand, and master the fascinating field of fault-tolerant distributed computing.

The goal of the Asilomar Workshop on Fault-Tolerant Distributed Computing, held March 17-19, 1986, was to facilitate interaction between theoreticians and practitioners by inviting speakers and choosing topics so as to present a broad overview of the field. This volume contains 22 papers stemming from the workshop, most of them revised and rewritten, presenting research results in distributed systems and fault-tolerant architectures and systems. The volume should be of use to students, researchers and developers.

DISC, the International Symposium on Distributed Computing, is an annual forum for presentation of research on all aspects of distributed computing, - cluding the theory, design, implementation and applications of distributed - gorithms, systems and networks. The 22nd edition of DISC was held during September 22-24, 2008, in Arcachon, France. There were 101 submissions submitted to DISC this year and this volume contains 33 15-page-long regular papers selected by the Program Committee among these submissions. Every submitted paper was read and evaluated by ProgramCommittee membersassistedby externalreviewers.The ?nal decisions regarding acceptance or rejection of each paper were made during the electronic Program Committee meeting held during June 2008. Revised and expanded versions of a few best selected papers will be considered for publication in a special issue of the journal Distributed Computing. The Program Committee selected Robert Danek and Wojciech Golab as the recipientsofthis year'sBestPaperAwardfortheir paper “Closingthe Compl- ity Gap Between FCFS Mutual Exclusion and Mutual Exclusion.”The Program Committee selected Wojciech Wawrzyniak as the recipient of this year's Best Student Paper Award for the paper “Fast Distributed Approximations in P- nar Graphs” coauthored with Andrzej Czygrinow and Michal Han´ ´ckowiak.

Fault tolerance has been an active research area for many years. This volume presents papers from a workshop held in 1993 where a small number of key researchers and practitioners in the area met to discuss the experiences of industrial practitioners, to provide a perspective on the state of the art of fault tolerance research, to determine whether the subject is becoming mature, and to learn from the experiences so far in order to identify what might be important research topics for the coming years. The workshop provided a more intimate environment for discussions and presentations than usual at conferences. The papers in the volume were presented at the workshop, then updated and revised to reflect what was learned at the workshop.
