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.

A theoretician's view of fault tolerant distributed computing.- A comparison of the Byzantine Agreement problem and the Transaction Commit Problem.- The state machine approach: A tutorial.- A simple model for agreement in distributed systems.- Atomic broadcast in a real-time environment.- Randomized agreement protocols.- An overview of clock synchronization.- Implementation issues in clock synchronization.- Argus.- TABS.- Communication support for reliable distributed computing.- Algorithms and system design in the highly available systems project.- Easy impossibility proofs for distributed consensus problems.- An efficient, fault-tolerant protocol for replicated data management.- Arpanet routing.- On the relationship between the atomic commitment and consensus problems.- The August system.- The sequoia system.- Fault tolerance in distributed UNIX.- Faults and their manifestation.- The “Engineering” of fault-tolerant distributed computing systems.- Bibliography for fault-tolerant distributed computing.
