Abstract
This paper introduces the N-party BAR Transfer service. The service
aims at transferring data from a group of replicated producers to a
group of replicated consumers, in a setting where the behavior of
the participants is characterized by the Byzantine Altruistic
Rational (BAR) model. The problem is motivated, a precise definition
of problem is presented, and the challenges on solving the problem
are discussed.
