How this entity was disambiguated
This entity first appeared as the object of triple T15139342 — resolving that mention is where its identity was fixed. The disambiguator weighed these candidate entities and picked the highlighted one (or “None”, minting a new entity). This is how homonymy is resolved: the same surface form can point to different entities.

-
A.
"Reaching Agreement in the Presence of Faults"
"Reaching Agreement in the Presence of Faults" is a seminal paper in distributed computing that introduced the Byzantine Generals Problem and laid the foundations for understanding consensus in unreliable, fault-prone systems.
-
B.
"Time, Clocks, and the Ordering of Events in a Distributed System"
"Time, Clocks, and the Ordering of Events in a Distributed System" is a seminal 1978 paper that introduced logical clocks and the happened-before relation, fundamentally shaping the theory and practice of distributed computing.
-
C.
FLP impossibility result
The FLP impossibility result is a foundational theorem in distributed computing showing that in an asynchronous system, no deterministic consensus protocol can guarantee both safety and liveness in the presence of even a single crash failure.
-
D.
EATCS International Symposium on Distributed Computing
The EATCS International Symposium on Distributed Computing is a leading annual academic conference that focuses on the theory, design, analysis, and implementation of distributed systems and algorithms.
