      ab: The article discusses how Leslie Lamport, principal researcher at Microsoft Research and a recipient of the 2013 Association for Computing Machinery A.M. Turing Award, contributed to the theory and practice of building distributed computing systems that work as planned. Topics discussed include Lamport's work for research institute SRI International from 1977 to 1985, an algorithm called Paxos that is for a fault-tolerant state machine handling non-Byzantine failures, and Lamport's suggestion for people who want to become systems designers.
