Contention-Aware Cooperation

Authors: Timothé Albouy, Davide Frey, Mathieu Gestin, Michel Raynal, and François Taïani

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 361, 29th International Conference on Principles of Distributed Systems (OPODIS 2025)

Abstract
As shown by Reliable Broadcast and Consensus, cooperation among a set of independent computing entities (sequential processes) is crucial in fault-tolerant distributed computing. Considering n-process asynchronous message-passing systems where some processes may be Byzantine, this paper introduces a novel cooperation abstraction, Contention-Aware Cooperation (CAC). While Reliable Broadcast is a one-to-n cooperation abstraction and Consensus is an n-to-n cooperation abstraction, CAC is a d-to-n cooperation abstraction where d (1 ≤ d ≤ n) varies with each run and remains unknown to the processes. Correct processes accept the same set of 𝓁 pairs ⟨ v,i ⟩ (v is the value proposed by p_i) from the d proposer processes, where 1 ≤ 𝓁 ≤ d and (as d) 𝓁 remains unknown to the processes (except in specific cases). Those 𝓁 values are accepted one at a time, potentially in different orders at each process. In addition, CAC provides each process with an imperfect oracle that provides insights into the values that they may accept in the future. Interestingly, the CAC abstraction is particularly efficient in favorable circumstances, when the oracle becomes accurate, which processes can detect. To illustrate its practical utility, the paper details two applications leveraging CAC: a fast consensus implementation optimized for low contention (named Cascading Consensus), and a novel naming problem that can be solved under full asynchrony. All algorithms presented require signatures.

Abstract
The goal of this roadmap paper is to summarize the state of-the-art and identify research challenges when developing, deploying and managing self-adaptive software systems. Instead of dealing with a wide range of topics associated with the field, we focus on four essential topics of self-adaptation: design space for adaptive solutions, processes, from centralized to decentralized control, and practical run-time verification and validation. For each topic, we present an overview, suggest future directions, and focus on selected challenges. This paper complements and extends a previous roadmap on software engineering for self-adaptive systems published in 2009 covering a different set of topics, and reflecting in part on the previous paper. This roadmap is one of the many results of the Dagstuhl Seminar 10431 on Software Engineering for Self-Adaptive Systems, which took place in October 2010.

Abstract
Software's ability to adapt at run-time to changing user needs, system intrusions or faults, changing operational environment, and resource variability has been proposed as a means to cope with the complexity of today's software-intensive systems. Such self-adaptive systems can configure and reconfigure themselves, augment their functionality, continually optimize themselves, protect themselves, and recover themselves, while keeping most of their complexity hidden from the user and administrator. In this paper, we present research road map for software engineering of self-adaptive systems focusing on four views, which we identify as essential: requirements, modelling, engineering, and assurances.
