Hello, everyone. I'm here to talk a little bit about some trends in the open source space that I find troubling and that I think are making the open source industry move in ways that we had never intended. And they are things that trouble me a little bit. I'm worried about how open and how much collaboration and innov...
2020 was a very bad year for most of us, under the shadow of all that was going on there was a troubling trend we all need to be aware of: the erosion of the classic open source model and values. For years vendors have been slowly chipping away at the freedom and openness provided by open source, this year saw unpreced...

Hello everybody. My name is Amin Bustaw. I am a PhD candidate at UM-16P in Morocco and today's talk is about the business in resilience of distributed stochastic gradient descent. So after a brief introduction, I will state the problem and after that I will talk about some related works and how they handle the busines...
Modern machine learning architectures distinguish servers and workers. Typically, a d-dimensional model is hosted by a server and trained by n workers, using a distributed \textit{stochastic gradient descent} (SGD) optimization scheme. At each SGD step, the goal is to estimate the gradient of a cost function. The simpl...

Hi, I'm Isaac. I'm a postdoc at the Max Planck Institute for Software Systems, and I'm here to talk about heterogeneous PAXOS, which is a project I worked on mostly at Cornell, with Shuman Wang, Robert Berners-Essay, and Andrew Miners. Most of you know that consensus is a key part of maintaining a replicated database,...
In distributed systems, a group of *learners* achieve *consensus* when, by observing the output of some *acceptors*, they all arrive at the same value. Consensus is crucial for ordering transactions in failure-tolerant systems. Traditional consensus algorithms are homogeneous in three ways: * all learners are treated e...

We consider the problem of communicating reliably in a dynamic network in the presence of up to k Byzantine failures. It was shown that this problem can be solved if and only if the dynamic graph satisfies a certain condition, that we call "RDC condition". In this paper, we present the first self-stabilizing algorithm ...

Hello and welcome to my talk on broadcast in generalized network and adversarial models. This is a joint work with Chenda and Yuli model at Ethe Zurich. We'll start with the usual setting of a Byzantine folk model, namely we have n parties using a communication network and some parties could be corrupted shown in red ...
Broadcast is a primitive which allows a specific party to distribute a message consistently among n parties, even if up to t parties exhibit malicious behaviour. In the classical model with a complete network of bilateral authenticated channels, the seminal result of Pease et al. [JACM'80] shows that broadcast is achie...

Paul Dirac attended the first 10 physics meetings organised in Lindau and gave talks at all except one. In 1979 he choose to talk about a subject based on a more than 40-year old love of his, the so-called Large Numbers Hypothesis from 1937. This hypothesis emanated from the fact that the strength of the electric force...
