A implementation of the Byzantine General Problem

Byzantine Generals Problem

Build

The system is build using Gradle version 4.x using the command:

$ ./gradlew build

The jar file will be generated inside the folder build/lib/.

Run

To execute the system, just run the java -jar passing the system parameters on the command line:

java -jar ByzantineGenerals <m> <g1,g2,g3,...,gn> <o>

,where

• <m> is a Integer representing the level of recursion, assuming that m > 0

• <g1,g2,g3,...,gn> is a String representing the list of general names, separated by comma ','

• <o> is a String representing the commander order, that could be ATTACK or RETREAT

This execution also assumes as the number of traitors, which are randomly selected.

For example:

$ java -jar ByzantineGenerals-1.0-SNAPSHOT.jar 1 G0,G1,G2,G3 ATTACK

, runs the system for 4 generals with the command ATTACK, 1 recursion level and 1 random traitor.
