We consider bit communication complexity of binary consensus in synchronous message passing systems with processes prone to crashes. A distributed algorithm is locally scalable wh...
Commodity file systems trust disks to either work or fail completely, yet modern disks exhibit more complex failure modes. We suggest a new fail-partial failure model for disks, ...

The complexity of physical and engineering systems, both in terms of the governing physical phenomena and the number of subprocesses involved, is mirrored in ever more complex mat...
It is not uncommon for modern systems to be composed of a variety of interacting services, running across multiple machines in such a way that most developers do not really unders...
Electronic System Level (ESL) design manages the complexity of todays systems by using abstract models. In this context Transaction Level Modeling (TLM) is state-of-theart for desc...
