The paper entitled “Automated Fine Tuning of Probabilistic Self-Stabilizing Algorithms” by Saba Aflaki, Matthias Volk, Borzoo Bonakdarpour, Joost-Pieter Katoen and Arne Storjohann has been selected as Prof. C.V. Ramamoorthy Best Paper Award at the 36th IEEE Int. Symposium on Reliable Distributed Systems in Hongkong.

The paper presents automated techniques to find the probability distribution that achieves minimum average recovery time for randomized distributed self-stabilizing algorithms.
