Acknowledgments First, and foremost, I would like to sincerely thank my advisor, Jon Crowcroft, for his tireless enthusiasm and support since our paths first crossed six years ago. Without his encouragement, I would not have believed it possible for to me to pursue a PhD. It takes a village to raise a child and it takes a research group to raise a graduate student. Since my first steps into the world of research, the Systems Research Group (SRG) at the Computer Lab has been my home. I am indebted to my mentor, Richard Mortier, for his counsel and patience, particularly during the longer than expected final stretch of my PhD. I am also indebted to Tim Harris for insightful feedback on this thesis which substantially helped toward improving the clarity and readability. I am thankful for the friendship of my former fellow students, Natacha Crooks, Malte Schwarzkopf, Matthew Grosvenor, Shehar Bano and my current fellow students, Krittika D’Silva, Zahra Tarkhani, Mohibi Hussain and Marco Caballero. In addition to those already mentioned, I am sincerely grateful to my friends beyond the SRG, especially Laura Scriven, Shreedipta Mitra and Jeunese Payne, for keeping me sane over the years. I am grateful to my colleague Martin Kleppmann for our discussions on distributed systems during key points of this PhD. I am deeply grateful to my 2nd supervisor, Anil Madhavapeddy, for adopting me into the OCaml labs community and regularly feeding me. Over the years, I have enjoyed many lively lunchtime discussions and trips to the food park with Gemma Gordon, David Allsopp and my office mates, KC Sivaramakrishnan and Stephen Dolan. I am also thankful to my former colleagues, Mindy Preston and Amir Chaudhry for their companionship during their time with me at the computer lab. I have been extremely privileged to work with Dahlia Malkhi, my mentor in the field of distributed systems. Thanks are also due to the friends, new and old, who kept me company during my time in California; Nick Spooner, Diego Ongaro, Jenny Wolochow and Igor Zablotchi. Without you all my time away from Cambridge could have been very lonely. Last but not least, I’d like to thank my husband, Olly Andrade, for the joy you have brought to my life over the last seven years as well as the countless hours spend proofreading this thesis. This thesis is dedicated to my father, Daniel Howard, who raised me and supported me throughout my life but sadly passed away after a short battle with cancer before the completion of this PhD.PDF Image | Distributed consensus
