| 08:45 - 09:45 CEST | Keynote: Towards World-Wide Total Event Ordering - Robbert van Renesse (Cornell University) |
| Abstract: The shared log abstraction has proved to be an important building block for distributed systems. It underlies other key abstractions such as state machine replication, atomic transactions, accountability, stream processing, and deterministic replay. Shared logs can also play a pivotal role in infrastructure control planes and global service management. Unfortunately, existing shared log implementations make painful and rather extreme trade-offs between desirable features such as low latency (both average and tail latency), high throughput, fault tolerance, and consistency properties such as total and causal order. While some trade-offs are unavoidable, we aim to demonstrate that it is possible to create a worldwide log by weaving together existing logs. The resulting interlog achieves all the desirable properties at the same time. Some key insights include separating ordering from storage and ordering events before they happen. |

| 14:00 - 14:45 CEST | Keynote: Networking Challenges in the Ethereum Network - Felix Lange (Ethereum Foundation) |
| Abstract: Building decentralized systems is hard and often times operating the networking layer over which decentralized applications run is even harder. Ethereum is one of the largest blockchain networks in operation with countless of applications building on top of it. This talk will summarise the main building blocks of Ethereum's networking stack, it will discuss the challenges faced in the process and will point to issues that need further investigation and research. |
