This paper studies the lattice agreement problem and proposes a stronger form, $\varepsilon$-bounded lattice agreement, that enforces an additional tightness constraint on the outputs. To formalize the concept, we define a quasi-metric on…
We study the Byzantine lattice agreement (BLA) problem in asynchronous distributed message passing systems. In the BLA problem, each process proposes a value from a join semi-lattice and needs to output a value also in the lattice such that…
The paper investigates the Lattice Agreement (LA) problem in asynchronous systems. In LA each process proposes an element $e$ from a predetermined lattice, and has to decide on an element $e'$ of the lattice such that $e \leq e'$. Moreover,…
Lattice-linearity was introduced as a way to model problems using predicates that induce a lattice among the global states (Garg, SPAA 2020). A key property of \textit{the predicate} representing such problems is that it induces…
Reconfiguration is one of the central mechanisms in distributed systems. Due to failures and connectivity disruptions, the very set of service replicas (or servers) and their roles in the computation may have to be reconfigured over time.…

Consensus is arguably the most studied problem in distributed computing as a whole, and particularly in the distributed message-passing setting. In this latter framework, research on consensus has considered various hypotheses regarding the…

In this article, we study some parallel processing algorithms for multiplication and modulo operations. We demonstrate that the state transitions that are formed under these algorithms satisfy lattice-linearity, where these algorithms…
We consider deterministic distributed algorithms for reaching agreement in synchronous networks of arbitrary topologies. Links are bi-directional and prone to failures while nodes stay non-faulty at all times. A faulty link may omit…
In this paper, we investigate the approximate consensus problem in highly dynamic networks in which topology may change continually and unpredictably. We prove that in both synchronous and partially synchronous systems, approximate…
Achieving agreement among distributed parties is a fundamental task in modern systems, underpinning applications such as consensus in blockchains, coordination in cloud infrastructure, and fault tolerance in critical services. However, this…
