Consensus (computer science)
A fundamental problem in
distributed computing
and
multi-agent systems
is to achieve overall system reliability in the presence of a number of faulty processes. This often requires processes to agree on some data value that is needed during computation. Examples of applications of
consensus
include whether to commit a transaction to a database, agreeing on the identity of a
leader
,
state machine replication
, and
atomic broadcasts
. The real world applications include
clock synchronization
,
PageRank
, opinion formation,
power smart grids
,
state estimation
,
control of UAVs
,
load balancing
and so on.
