Paxos algorithm
The Paxos algorithm, originally proposed by Leslie Lamport in a paper submitted in 1990 but not published until 1998, is a fault tolerant algorithm for reaching consensus in a distributed system. Within the algorithm, consensus is defined as a decision on an input value for a set of replicated state machines.
