© 2013 PODC
A paper co-written by Nicolas Braud-Santoni, Prof. Rachid Guerraoui and Florian Huc, has been selected to share the Best Student Paper award at ACM Symposium on Principles of Distributed Computing 2013. It is the most prestigious conference in the field.
Out of nearly 40 papers accepted to this year's ACM Symposium on Principles of Distributed Computing (PODC), the program committee selected two papers to share Best Student Paper award. One of them is a result of collaboration between researchers affiliated with Distributed Programming Laboratory (LPD).
The awarded paper entitled “Fast Byzantine Agreement” presents the most efficient to date protocol for Byzantine Agreement: a classical problem in the theory of distributing computing and a fundamental building block in devising reliable and secure distributed systems. To learn more about the paper, listen to an interview with Florian Huc.
Prof. Rachid Guerraoui is head of LPD where research is about the theory and practice of distributed computing. Nicolas Braud-Santoni is a student from ENS Cachan doing his end-of-master internship at LPD. Florian Huc was a postdoctoral researcher there and currently works as a Consultant for ELCA Informatique SA (ELCA).
