From Traditional Fault Tolerance to Blockchain
This book covers the most essential techniques for designing and building dependable distributed systems, from traditional fault tolerance to the blockchain technology. Topics include checkpointing and logging, recovery-orientated computing, replication, distributed consensus, Byzantine fault tolerance, as well as blockchain. This book intentionally includes traditional fault tolerance techniques so that readers can appreciate better the huge benefits brought by the blockchain technology and why it has been touted as a disruptive technology, some even regard it at the same level of the Internet. This book also expresses a grave concern on using traditional consensus algorithms in blockchain because with the limited scalability of such algorithms, the primary benefits of using blockchain in the first place, such as decentralization and immutability, could be easily lost under cyberattacks.

Stahlbau-Kalender 2021
Die Schwerpunktthemen des Stahlbau-Kalender 2021 sind der Brückenbau und die neue Eurocode-Generation.<br> Brücken aus Stahl zeichnen sich durch eine hohe Lebensdauer und eine hervorragende Tragfähigkeit aus. Durch Kombination mit anderen Materialien sind den Möglichkeiten im Stahlbrückenbau, einschließlich der architektonisch anspruchsvollen Gestaltung, keine Grenzen gesetzt. Brückenneubauten oder Ersatzneubauten unter laufendem Verkehr erfordern innovative Lösungen mit Fokus auf kurzen Bauzeiten bei gleichzeitiger Ressourcenschonung. Dafür eignen sich besonders Brückentypen mit hohem Vorfertigungsgrad und in Modulbauweise, wie z. B. Stahlverbundbrücken mit Fertigteilen. Dank der großen Spannweiten, die sich mit dem Baustoff Stahl erreichen lassen, können Kosten und Aufwendungen für die Mittelstütze und beengende Verkehrsführungen eingespart werden. Den vielfältigen Planungsaufgaben beim Entwurf von Stahl- und Stahlverbundbrücken wird in dieser Ausgabe des Stahlbau-Kalender mit Beiträgen über Richtzeichnungen, Vorplanung, Fertigung und Montage, Brückenseile, Brückenlager, Fahrbahnübergänge und Ermüdungsfestigkeit Rechnung getragen.<br> Als ein grundlegendes Thema des Stahlbaus wird das Beulverhalten und die Optimierung schlanker Stahlkonstruktionen in einem ausführlichen Beitrag aktuell behandelt.<br> Der Stahlbau-Kalender dokumentiert verlässlich und aus erster Hand den aktuellen Stand der Stahlbau-Regelwerke. In dieser Ausgabe werden neben der Aktualisierung von Teil 1-8 «Bemessung von Anschlüssen» auch Erläuterungen zur Neubewertung des Kerbfallkatalogs nach DIN EN 1993-1-9 – Ermüdung – Ausgabe August 2020 und zur DASt-Richtlinie über die Ermüdungsbemessung bei Anwendung höhenfrequenter Hämmerverfahren gegeben.
