%X <p>This paper presents the first BFT selection model and algorithm that can be used to choose the most convenient protocol according to the BFT user (i.e., an enterprise) preferences. The selection algorithm applies some mathematical formulas to make the selection process easy and automatic. The algorithm operates in three modes: Static, Dynamic, and Heuristic. The Static mode addresses the cases where a single protocol is needed; the Dynamic mode assumes that the system conditions are quite fluctuating and thus requires runtime decisions, and the Heuristic mode uses additional heuristics to improve user choices. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first work that addresses selection in BFT.</p>
