SUMMARY:Brown bag: Elaine Shi
DESCRIPTION:Title: Rethinking Internet-Scale Consensus\nSpeaker: Elaine
	 Shi\nAbstract: Traditionally\, consensus protocols were typically
	 deployed in controlled environments: for example\, a company like Google
	 may deploy consensus protocols to replicate critical services such as
	 Google Wallet. The deployment is typically small scale\, and nodes are
	 inter-connected with fast internal networks.\n\nNew cryptocurrencies
	 such as Bitcoin and Ethereum have pushed the deployment of consensus
	 protocols to a newer height. The community's common wisdom is that
	 classical consensus protocols are *not* \"robust\" enough for
	 Internet-scale deployment\, although few have clearly articulated what
	 \"robustness\" exactly means.\n\nIn this talk\, we will explore what
	 robustness means for Internet-scale consensus\, and how to design more
	 robust consensus protocols for these Internet-scale applications.
