Abstract:Representing an algorithmic workflow as a state machine is a frequently used technique in distributed systems. Replicating a state machine in a fault tolerant way is one of the main application areas under this context. When implementing a replicated state machine, a crucial problem is to maintain consistency among replicas that might handle various different requests arriving at each different replica. This problem requires maintaining a single consistent ordering of the distributed requests handled separatel… Show more
