چکیده
The various election systems used throughout the world can be divided into three families: Plurality-Majority, Proportional, and Semi-Proportional. Each family has its own characteristics, advantages and disadvantages. All three families of systems can be used for electing legislative bodies, such as the state legislature, city councils, and school boards. For executive offices, such as governor or mayor, only variations of the Plurality-Majority family can be used.

A Highly Available Local Leader Election Service
We define the highly available local leader election problem, a generalization of the leader election problem for partitionable systems. We propose a protocol that solves the problem efficiently and give some performance measurements of our implementation. The local leader election service has been proven useful in the design and implementation of several fail-aware services for partitionable s...
متن کاملIncreasing the Performance of OFDM Systems by PAPR Reduction in PTS Technique using Election Optimization Algorithm
Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM) is a useful technology in wireless communications that provides high-rate data transmission in multipath fading channels. The advantages of OFDM systems are the high spectral efficiency and strong resistance to frequency selective fading. In OFDM systems, a large number of sub-carriers are used to modulate the symbols causing the time-domain OFD...
متن کاملA Safety-strengthened Election Protocol Based on an Unreliable Failure Detector in Distributed Systems
A Leader is a Coordinator that supports a set of processes to cooperate a given task. This concept is used in several domains such as distributed systems, parallelism and cooperative support for cooperative work. In completely asynchronous systems, there is no solution for the election problem satisfying both of safety and liveness properties in asynchronous distributed systems. Therefore, to s...
متن کاملLeader Election in Distributed Systems with Crash Failures
Leader election is an important problem in distributed computing. Garcia-Molina's Bully Algorithm is a classic solution to leader election in synchronous systems with crash failures. This paper shows that the Bully Algorithm can be easily adapted for use in asynchronous systems. First, we re-write the Bully Algorithm to use a failure detector, instead of explicit time-outs; this yields a modula...
