Title: Abstractions for permissionless distributed systems

Abstract:

Permissionless distributed systems are distributed systems in which (i) the number of participants for carrying out the protocol is not known before hand, and is not even known during the course of the execution, (ii) the right to contribute (e.g., by proposing a new value of interest for the other participants) and to participate (e.g., by reading new decided values) is not controlled by a (trustworthy) third authority, and (iii) participants communicate over a weakly connected communication topology (such as a peer-to-peer network). The permissionless blockchain technology exactly complies with such features.  During this presentation I will present some of the most important abstractions that allow to support the construction of such distributed systems.
