Projektbeschreibung der*des Nominierenden

Professor Alvisi is an international authority in the field of dependable distributed computing. His work has provided the first specification of message logging, has brought Byzantine fault tolerance (BFT) to the cusp of industrial adoption and has shown how to bring together BFT and game theory to build dependable peer-to-peer systems. While in Germany, Professor Alvisi focuses on state-machine replication for multi-core servers as well as on systems that are robust to collusion.
