Structural Failure Models for Fault-Tolerant Distributed Computing

Timo Warns has developed tractable fault models that, while being non-probabilistic, are accurate for dependent and propagating faults. Using seminal problems such as consensus and constructing coteries, he demonstrates how the new models can be used to design and evaluate effective and efficient means of fault tolerance.

Dr. Timo Warns completed his doctoral thesis under the supervision of Prof. Dr. Wilhelm Hasselbring at the Carl von Ossietzky University of Oldenburg.
