Q&A
Understanding distributed computing is a complex task due to the various uncertainties involved in producing correct distributed software. This book, "Fault-tolerant Agreement in Synchronous Message-passing Systems" by Michel Raynal, published by Morgan & Claypool Publishers in 2010, focuses on addressing the uncertainty created by process failures in synchronous message-passing systems. It delves into fundamental problems such as consensus, interactive consistency, k-set agreement, and non-blocking atomic commit in synchronous message-passing distributed systems. By presenting algorithms that solve these problems and associated computability bounds, the book aims to provide a comprehensive view of agreement problems in this context.
