Optimal Termination Protocols for Network Partitioning
Summary: Formal model of termination protocols under network partitions using per-component states; introduces optimality metrics: waiting components and avg waiting sites. Gives protocols optimal for centralized/decentralized commits, proving quorum-based terminations excel and centralized commits win with a reliable coordinator.
