Conditions on a shared object type T are given that are both necessary and sufficient for wait-free n-process consensus to be solvable using objects of type T and registers. The co...
Abstract Many reliable distributed systems are consensusbased and typically operate under two modes: a fast normal mode in failure-free synchronous periods, and a slower recovery m...
Abstract. To cope with the impossibility of solving agreement problems in asynchronous systems made up of n processes and prone to t process crashes, system designers tailor their ...
—In the crash-recovery failure model of asynchronous distributed systems, processes can temporarily stop to execute steps and later restart their computation from a predefined l...

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...
