Abstract
Despite nearly 20 years of progress toward ubiquitous computer connectivity, distributed computing systems have only recently emerged to play a serious role in industry and society. Perhaps this explains why so few distributed systems are reliable in the sense of tolerating failures automatically, guaranteeing properties such as performance or response time, or offering security against intentional threats. In many ways the engineering discipline of reliable distributed computing is still in its infancy.
