Syllabus

The course will cover basic topics in the theory of fault tolerant distributed computing. The material to be covered includes lower bounds, impossibility results and deterministic and randomized fault-tolerant algorithms for problems such as information dissemination, consensus and coordinated attack, in various fault models.

Learning Outcomes

Upon successful completion of this course student should be able to:

Describe the key notions and principles of fault-tolerance in distributed computing theory.
Explain basic paradigms and algorithmic techniques of the field of fault-tolerant distributed algorithms.
Solve central problems in the field.
Discuss modern research in the field.
