Protocols forcing consensus
Article Abstract:
Some conditions on the communication order guarantee consensus on the value of any union-consistent function. The star protocol is a centralized protocol where every agent communicates privately with a central agent who instantly responds. Channel and star protocols are fair protocols because each agent infinitely communicates with other agents. Consensus on the value of any union-consistent function is not reached in round-robin protocols.

Comment on consensus without common knowledge
Article Abstract:
Incorporation of the time stages into the state space eliminates the puzzle on Parikh and Krasucki's conclusion that consensus may not be common knowledge among participants. Contrary to intuition, there is always a stage where an agent does not know that consensus has been reached. However, common sense regarding common knowledge in the updating process can be completely matched in the formal model when wider partitions space is set.

Secure protocols or how communication generates correlation
Article Abstract:
A novel framework for designing secure protocols was developed in an effort to provide an efficient means of evaluating the strategic effects of information and communication. Unlike conventional secure protocols, the proposed model outlines a decentralized procedure for generating information. By allowing players to compute translated signals, the proposed protocol eliminates risks associated with player deviations.
