The mutable consensus protocol [PDF]

Proceedings of the 23rd IEEE International Symposium on Reliable Distributed Systems, 2004., 2004
In this paper we propose the mutable consensus protocol, a pragmatic and theoretically appealing approach to enhance the performance of distributed consensus. First, an apparently inefficient protocol is developed using the simple stubborn channel abstraction for unreliable message passing.

Distributed Multi-Robot Formation Control Based on Bipartite Consensus With Time-Varying Delays

IEEE Access, 2019
A distributed formation control scheme of multi-robot systems for bipartite consensus under communication delays is presented in this paper. The bipartite consensus protocol under communication delays is first proposed.

The deformed consensus protocol [PDF]

Automatica, 2013
This paper studies a generalization of the standard continuous-time consensus protocol, obtained by replacing the Laplacian matrix of the communication graph with the so-called deformed Laplacian. The deformed Laplacian is a second-degree matrix polynomial in the real variable s which reduces to the standard Laplacian for s equal to unity.

Distributed consensus protocols for coordinating buyers [PDF]

42nd IEEE International Conference on Decision and Control (IEEE Cat. No.03CH37475), 2004
In this paper, we introduce a distributed consensus protocol for coordinating orders of a network of buyers also called agents/decision makers. Each buyer chooses a different threshold strategy, defining its intention to place an order only if at least other l buyers will do the same.

Formal Modeling and Verification of a Blockchain-Based Crowdsourcing Consensus Protocol

IEEE Access, 2022
Crowdsourcing is an effective technique that allows humans to solve complex problems that are hard to accomplish by automated tools. Some significant challenges in crowdsourcing systems include avoiding security attacks, effective trust management, and ...

Good, Better, Best! - Unbeatable Protocols for Consensus and Set Consensus [PDF]

Discussion Paper, Center for the Study of Rationality, 2013
While the very first consensus protocols for the synchronous model were designed to match the worst-case lower bound, deciding in exactly t+1 rounds in all runs, it was soon realized that they could be strictly improved upon by early stopping protocols. These dominate the first ones, by always deciding in at most t+1 rounds, but often much faster.

Proof of Luck: an Efficient Blockchain Consensus Protocol [PDF]

, 2017
In the paper, we present designs for multiple blockchain consensus primitives and a novel blockchain system, all based on the use of trusted execution environments (TEEs), such as Intel SGX-enabled CPUs.

Effects of a Delphi consensus acupuncture treatment protocol on the levels of stress and vascular tone in women undergoing in-vitro fertilization: a randomized clinical trial protocol

BMC Complementary and Alternative Medicine, 2017
Background The variability of published acupuncture protocols for patients undergoing In-Vitro Fertilization (IVF) complicates the interpretation of data and hinders our understanding of acupuncture’s impact.

Consensus: Motor cortex plasticity protocols

Brain Stimulation, 2008
Noninvasive transcranial stimulation is being increasingly used by clinicians and neuroscientists to alter deliberately the status of the human brain. Important applications are the induction of virtual lesions (for example, transient dysfunction) to identify the importance of the stimulated brain network for a certain sensorimotor or cognitive task ...
