Abstract

It has been reported [25] that life holds but two certainties, death and taxes. And indeed, it does appear that any society-and in the context of this article, any large-scale distributed system-must address both death (failure) and the establishment and maintenance of infrastructure (which we assert is a major motivation for taxes, so as to justify our title!).
