Abstract(in English) This paper proposes a combination approach of both the existing check-by-voting method and the spot-checking for malicious saboteurs in Volunteer Computing (VC) systems, who firstly return correct results (the incubation stage) and then return incorrect results after the stage. Because the check-by-voting method selects reliable participants by the voting results in the early stage of the computation, saboteurs in the incubation stage may be selected by mistake. To avoid it, the spot-checking must be used together, which checks participants by allocating the checking job with a probability q (spot-check rate). However, the larger q decreases the error rate of computation with the cost of decreased throughput. In this paper, we propose a formula of calculating the minimal q (q_) that decreases the error rate of the computation to the required value or lower, regardless of the parameters such as the length of the incubation stage and the sabotaging frequency of saboteurs.
