Ally is a framework for building distributed services in a federated architecture. In a federation, nodes may occupy multiple, independent administrative domains, with complex trust relationships, connected by an asynchronous, wide-area network. We present a library that implements Byzantine fault-tolerant agreement, a critical building-block service in robust distributed systems, targeted at t...

The framework dimensions encompass both hard and soft features of such systems including different witness location approaches, various reputation calculation engines, variety of information sources and rating systems which are categorised as hard features, and also basic reputation measu...
