Central Control over Distributed Asynchronous Systems
Klaus-Tycho Foerster · 2019
This tutorial will give an introduction to a topic that lies at the intersection of distributed computing and networking, and combines asynchronous distributed systems with central control, namely consistent updates in Software-Defined Networks (SDNs). We will give an overview on current models and algorithms, but also selected related topics, in particular those of potential interest to the PODC community, showcasing avenues for further research.
