A node limits itself to accepting suggestions from only certain validators, such that validators that appear in many of a node's quorum slices are favoured over those that appear in less quorum slices. It's not clear from the draft why this step is necessary. If the intent is to ensure that peers that appear in many of a node's quorums have more influence than those that don't, then the peer selection process seems redundant since nodes that appear in many quorums implicitly have more influence than those that don't, because they appear in more quorums. It also seems that, by limiting the peers that a node accepts suggestions from, the set of values that make it to balloting will also be limited. Values that didn't make it to balloting this slot will have to wait till the next slot to have a chance to be agreed upon. If this is the case then it seems that the peer selection process is limiting the responsiveness or throughput or both of the network. What would be the problem with not performing peer selection and each node simply accepting all suggestions from all of its validators during nomination?

Starting from Bitcoin, there exist by now numerous blockchain approaches and applications, with new ones appearing every month. Although many of these innovations reside in cryptographic research and developments, at first blockchains are distributed systems. The underlying infrastructure is blindly leveraged by blockchains, whereas this arises serious concerns in terms of scalability, quality-of-service, security, and fault tolerance. Indeed, monitoring and configuring such a distributed system without or with a loosely control is naturally difficult. Also, a full understanding and prediction of expected performance before a real deployment at large scale is vital from a technical and business operations perspective. Furthermore, a blockchain also serves as a potential candidate to ease network and service management. Indeed, many services over the Internet rely on pre-established trust among entities, which is hard to maintain at a large scale and which is, thus, the sources of many malfunctioning or targets of attacks. Among them are naming services, distributed cloud management, resource sharing, PKI management, or distributed policy management and accountability within a softwarized network architecture. Man2Block 2019 is a dedicated venue for bringing together students, researchers and practitioners from academia and industry who share common interests in the management and the use of the blockchain infrastructure and smart contracts in network, system, service operations and management. Theoretical approaches, practical experimentations and papers highlighting future trends and challenges are welcomed. Authors are invited to submit original contributions (full and short papers) that fall into the following list of topics of interest (not exhaustive): - Blockchain infrastructure management - Security of blockchains - Monitoring and configuration of blockchains - Blockchains anomaly detection - Resource provisioning for blockchains - Blockchain QoS and QoE - Blockchain large-scale experimentation - Smart contracts and their management - Blockchain auditing - Blockchain threat assessment - Privacy and anonymity in blockchains - PKI for blockchains - Blockchain simulation and evaluation methodologies - Blockchain analytics - Blockchains attack design and mitigation - Blockchain architectures ================================================================================ Venue: Man2Block will be held in conjunction with IFIP/IEEE International Symposium on Integrated Network Management (IM) 2019 in Washington DC, USA, 12 April 2019 Submission Instructions: Authors are invited to submit original, unpublished works for publication in the IEEE IM 2019 proceedings and for presentation in the workshop. Papers under review elsewhere must not be submitted to the workshop. Submissions must be in IEEE 2-column style and have a maximum length of 6 pages (full paper) or 4 pages (short paper). The accepted papers will be submitted for publication in the IEEE Xplore Digital Library. Papers will be withdrawn from IEEE Xplore in case the authors do not present their paper at the workshop Submissions must be made in PDF format via: https://submissoes.sbc.org.br/home.cgi?c=3193 ================================================================================ Man2Block Workshop co-chairs Jérôme François, Inria Nancy Grand Est, France Abdelkader Lahmadi, Université de Lorraine, France Radu State, University of Luxembourg, Luxembourg Burkhard Stiller, University of Zurich, Switzerland Thomas Bocek, HSR Hochschule für Technik Rapperswil, Switzerland
