+==== Efficient runtime for BFT systems (Master project) ====
+=== Introduction ===
+Current BFT protocols are often implemented in ad-hoc manners, either by reusing existing code, or implementing the system from scratch. Mostly, C/C++ is the language of choice for BFT developer, although there are some examples of using Java. In most cases, implementation is a single-threaded application.
+The problem with this approach is that there is no correlation between pseudo-code and implemented code. Furthermore, implementations may suffer from performance problems, due to poorly written code. Finally, comparison of different algorithms is now affected by different implementation strategies.
+In order to give a common platform to implement high-performance BFT systems, we propose implementing a multithreaded runtime for running BFT protocol implementation.
+=== Goals of the Project ===
+The project would consist of:
+  - Modeling the components of BFT systems.
+  - Modifying mongrel2 or userver (efficient event-based web-server) to process requests.
+  - Evaluation of different protocol implementations on new platform.
