AntiCheetah: an Autonomic Multi-round Approach for Reliable Computing

Outsourced computing is increasingly popular thanks to the effectiveness and convenience of cloud computing *-as-a-Service offerings. However, cloud nodes can potentially misbehave in order to save resources. As such, some guarantee over the correctness and availability of results is needed. Exploiting the redundancy of cloud nodes can be of help, even though smart cheating strategies render the detection and correction of fake results much harder to achieve in practice.
