This book provides a comprehensive analysis of Brooks-Iyengar
Distributed Sensing Algorithm, which brings together the power of
Byzantine Agreement and sensor fusion in building a fault-tolerant
distributed sensor network. The authors analyze its long-term impacts,
advances, and future prospects. The book starts by discussing the
Brooks-Iyengar algorithm, which has made significant impact since its
initial publication in 1996. The authors show how the technique has been
applied in many domains such as software reliability, distributed
systems and OS development, etc. The book exemplifies how the algorithm
has enhanced new real-time features by adding fault-tolerant
capabilities for many applications. The authors posit that the
Brooks-Iyengar Algorithm will to continue to be used where
fault-tolerant solutions are needed in redundancy system scenarios.
This book celebrates S.S. Iyengar's accomplishments that led to his 2019
Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers' (IEEE) Cybermatics
Congress "Test of Time Award" for his work on creating Brooks-Iyengar
Algorithm and its impact in advancing modern computing.
