| A **Consensus Algorithm** is a process in computer science used to achieve agreement on a single data value among distributed processes or systems. Consensus algorithms are designed to achieve reliability in a network involving multiple unreliable nodes. Solving that issue -- known as the consensus problem -- is important in distributed computing and multi-agent systems. | A **Consensus Algorithm** is a process in computer science used to achieve agreement on a single data value among distributed processes or systems.
