Abstract
This paper describes a solution to the replica management problem in
asynchronous distributed systems in which processes can crash and
recover. Our solution is based on an Atomic Broadcast primitive which,
in turn, is based on an underlying Consensus algorithm. The proposed
technique makes a bridge between established results on Weighted
Voting and recent results on the Consensus problem.
