This paper is on the Consensus problem, in the context of asynchronous distributed systems made of n processes, at most f of them may crash. A family of failure detector classes s...
or fault-tolerant asynchronous systems. It abstracts a family of problems known as Agreement (or Coordination) problems. Any solution to consensus can serve as a basic building blo...
Abstract. The concept of unreliable failure detectors for reliable distributed systems was introduced by Chandra and Toueg as a fine-grained means to add weak forms of synchrony i...
It has recently been shown that fair exchange, a security problem in distributed systems, can be reduced to a fault tolerance problem, namely a special form of distributed consensu...

In the asynchronous distributed system model, consensus is obtained in one communication step if all processes propose the same value. Assuming f < n/3, this is regardless of t...
