Consensus algorithm Sample Clauses

Consensus algorithm. A partially synchronous algorithm for Byzantine agreement when n > 3t and ℓ > t is shown in Figure 7. It uses the authenticated broadcast primitive described in the previous subsection and follows the same general pattern as the algo- rithm of Dwork, Xxxxx and Xxxxxxxxxx [9]. Each iteration of the main loop is called a phase, which takes four super- rounds. Each process has a proper variable, which stores a set of val- ues that can be output without violating validity. Initially, only the process’s own value is in this set. In each round, each process updates its proper variable as follows. Each process appends its proper set to each message it sends. If a process receives proper sets containing v in t + 1 messages in the same round, it adds v to its own proper set. Also, if a process has received proper sets in 2t + 1 messages during the round and no value appears in t + 1 of them, the process adds all possible input values to its own proper set. Consider a process p executing the algorithm. There are sev- eral times when p needs to have an estimate of the number of processes that performed a broadcast of a particular mes- sage m in an earlier superround r ≤ r′. During superround r′, p performs a number of Accept(i, α , m, r). For each identifier i, αi is p’s estimate of the number of processes with identifier i that performed Broadcast(i, m, r). We say that the number of witnesses that p has in superround ′ ond round of the superround). Process p must have re- ceived at least n − t messages containing tuples of the form r for (m, r) is the sum, over all i, of the αi’s that appear in all Accept(i, αi, m, r) actions that p performs during su- ′ ′ perround r . It follows from the properties of authenticated (echo, i, α , m, r) with α ≥ α in this round. Among the n− t senders of these messages, at least n − 2t are correct. Since the value stored in each sender’s a[i, m, r] variable can only increase, each of these n − 2t correct senders also sends a broadcast that this estimate will eventually be at least as large as the actual number of correct processes that per- formed Broadcast(∗, m, r) and exceed that number by at most t. ′ ′ tuple of the form (echo, i, α , m, r) with α ′ ≥ α in round xxx(r , T ). All of these messages are delivered. Thus, for each correct process, the value of a[i, m, r] is at least α af- ter the process executes line 18 in superround max(r , T ). For the remainder of this section, we consider an execution in which fi processes with id...

  • Procedures for Providing NP Through Full NXX Code Migration Where a Party has activated an entire NXX for a single Customer, or activated at least eighty percent (80%) of an NXX for a single Customer, with the remaining numbers in that NXX either reserved for future use by that Customer or otherwise unused, if such Customer chooses to receive Telephone Exchange Service from the other Party, the first Party shall cooperate with the second Party to have the entire NXX reassigned in the LERG (and associated industry databases, routing tables, etc.) to an End Office operated by the second Party. Such transfer will be accomplished with appropriate coordination between the Parties and subject to appropriate industry lead times for movements of NXXs from one switch to another. Neither Party shall charge the other in connection with this coordinated transfer.

  • Interfaces GTE provides the CLECs with choices for access to OSS pre-ordering, ordering, maintenance and repair systems. Availability of the interfaces is fundamental to the CLEC being able to effectively do business with GTE. Additionally, in many instances, CLEC personnel must work with the service personnel of GTE. Measurements in this category assess the availability to the CLECs of systems and personnel at GTE work centers.

  • SPECIALIZED JOB CLASSES Where there is a particular specialized job class in which the pay rate is below the local market value assessment of that job class, the parties may use existing means under the collective agreement to adjust compensation for that job class.

  • New Job Classifications When a new classification (which is covered by the terms of this collective agreement) is established by the Hospital, the Hospital shall determine the rate of pay for such new classification and notify the local Union of the same. If the local Union challenges the rate, it shall have the right to request a meeting with the Hospital to endeavour to negotiate a mutually satisfactory rate. Such request will be made within ten (10) days after the receipt of notice from the Hospital of such new occupational classification and rate. Any change mutually agreed to resulting from such meeting shall be retroactive to the date that notice of the new rate was given by the Hospital. If the parties are unable to agree, the dispute concerning the new rate may be submitted to arbitration as provided in the agreement within fifteen (15) days of such meeting. The decision of the arbitrator (or board of arbitration as the case may be) shall be based on the relationship established by comparison with the rates for other classifications in the bargaining unit having regard to the requirements of such classification. When the Hospital makes a substantial change in the job content of an existing classification which in reality causes such classification to become a new classification, the Hospital agrees to meet with the Union if requested to permit the Union to make representation with respect to the appropriate rate of pay. If the matter is not resolved following the meeting with the Union, the matter may be referred to arbitration as provided in the agreement within fifteen (15) days of such meeting. The decision of the arbitrator (or board of arbitration as the case may be) shall be based on the relationship established by comparison with the rates for other classifications in the bargaining unit having regard to the requirements of such classifications. The parties further agree that any change mutually agreed to or awarded as a result of arbitration shall be retroactive only to the date that the Union raised the issue with the Hospital. The parties further agree that the above process as provided herein shall constitute the process for Pay Equity Maintenance as required by the Pay Equity Act.
