DESCRIPTION:By: Paulo Esteves-Veríssimo - University of Luxembourg\, SnT\
 , CritiX\n\nAbstract:\nResilient computing is attracting attention\, drive
 n by the increasing number of systems and applications that no longer take
  as a given: static architecture configurations\, known and fixed number o
 f participants\, stable system assumptions like synchrony\, moderate or pr
 edictable threat/fault behaviours\, or unconditional trust in stakeholders
 /third parties. I will briefly discuss a research approach to resilient (d
 istributed) computing\, which has allowed my lab CritiX to tackle several 
 application areas using the same coherent set of enabling techniques and p
 aradigms.\nBlockchain being one of them\, the bulk of the talk will exempl
 ify that philosophy\, addressing the challenges faced when you go about co
 nceiving a distributed fault/intrusion tolerant and resilient system … t
 hat ends-up implementing a blockchain. More exactly\, a high-speed permiss
 ionless blockchain protocol secure against attackers with way more than 51
 % network computing power\, and resilient to all attacks known at date of 
 publication.\n\nBio:\nPaulo Esteves-Veríssimo is a Professor and FNR PEAR
 L Chair at the University of Luxembourg (UL)\, and head of the CritiX rese
 arch group at UL's SnT Centre (http://wwwen.uni.lu/snt). He is adjunct Pro
 fessor of the ECE Dept. of CMU (USA). Veríssimo is Fellow of IEEE and of 
 ACM. He is past Chair of the IFIP WG 10.4 on Dependable Computing and Faul
 t-Tolerance and past vice-Chair of the Steering Committee of the DSN confe
 rence. He is also associate editor of the IEEE Transactions on Emerging To
 pics in Computing. He is interested in resilient\, secure and dependable d
 istributed architectures\, middleware and algorithms for: resilience of la
 rge-scale systems and critical infrastructures\, privacy and integrity of 
 biomedical and blockchain data\, security and safety of real-time networke
 d embedded systems. He is author of over 200 peer-refereed publications an
 d co-author of 5 books. Check his pubs on GSC:  http://scholar.google.com
