# 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.

## Key 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.
