Fault Tolerant Leader Election in Distributed Systems

TL;DR

This paper introduces a novel fault-tolerant leader election algorithm for distributed systems that utilizes a random roulette wheel selection method to ensure system resilience during failures.

Contribution

The paper presents a new leader election algorithm based on roulette wheel selection, enhancing fault tolerance in distributed systems.

Findings

The algorithm successfully elects new leaders during faults.

It improves fault tolerance compared to existing methods.

The approach is simple and effective in distributed environments.

Abstract

There are many distributed systems which use a leader in their logic. When such systems need to be fault tolerant and the current leader suffers a technical problem, it is necesary to apply a special algorithm in order to choose a new leader. In this paper I present a new fault tolerant algorithm which elects a new leader based on a random roulette wheel selection.
