Abstract

Reliability is an important research topic in the study of distributed systems. Under many circumstances, a healthy processor in a distributed system needs to reach a common agreement before performing some special tasks even if the faults exist. In order to achieve fault-tolerance in distributed systems, one must deal with the Byzantine Agreement (BA) problem. Most BA problem require all the healthy processors to obtain an agreement at the same round, this kind of agreement is called an Immediate Byzantine Agreement (IBA). Another kind of agreement, Eventual Byzantine Agreement (EBA), allows its participants to reach a common agreement at different rounds when the f"a"c"t
