IoT Thrust Seminar | AI-driven Adaptive Distributed Systems in Untrusted Environments

For the past decade, distributed systems have been governed by central authorities, typically assuming trusted environments and tolerating only crash failures. However, events like the recent collapse of multinational banks and stock exchange glitches have deteriorated trust in these monopolized systems. This has accelerated the rise of decentralized systems where multiple untrusting parties collaborate, making untrusted environments prevalent and shifting the focus of fault tolerance to tolerating malicious failures. My research focuses on building the next generation of intelligent and adaptive distributed systems for these untrusted contexts.
