In the synchronous C-counting problem, all nodes need to eventually agree on a counter that is increased by one modulo C in each round for given C>1. In the self-stabilising firing squad problem, the task is to eventually guarantee that all non-faulty nodes have simultaneous responses to external inputs: if a subset of the correct nodes receive an external “go” signal as input, then all correct nodes should agree on a round (in the not-too-distant future) in which to jointly output a “fire” signal. Moreover, no node should generate a “fire” signal without some correct node having previously received a “go” signal as input. We present a framework reducing both tasks to binary consensus at very small cost. For example, we obtain a deterministic algorithm for self-stabilising Byzantine firing squads with optimal resilience f<n/3, asymptotically optimal stabilisation and response time O(f), and message size O(log f). As our framework does not restrict the type of consensus routines used, we also obtain efficient randomised solutions."}],"quality_controlled":"1","date_created":"2018-12-11T11:44:30Z","user_id":"c635000d-4b10-11ee-a964-aac5a93f6ac1","language":[{"iso":"eng"}],"date_published":"2018-09-12T00:00:00Z","external_id":{"isi":["000475627800005"]},"year":"2018","oa_version":"Published Version","month":"09"}
