Brief announcement: linear time byzantine self-stabilizing clock synchronization

In this paper, we show how to build synchronized clocks of arbitrary size atop of existing small-sized clocks, despite arbitrary faults. Our solution is both self-stabilizing and Byzantine fault-tolerant, and needs merely single-bit channels. It ...

Embedded distributed systems have become an integral part of safety-critical computing applications, necessitating system designs that incorporate fault tolerant clock synchronization in order to achieve ultra-reliable assurance levels. Many efficient ...

Today’s hardware technology presents a new challenge in designing robust systems. Deep submicron VLSI technology introduces transient and permanent faults that were never considered in low-level system designs in the past. Still, robustness of that part ...
