We present a consensus algorithm that combines unreliable failure detection and randomization, two well-known techniques for solving consensus in asynchronous systems with crash f...
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 ...
Byzantine consensus in asynchronous message-passing systems has been shown to require at least 3f + 1 processes to be solvable in several system models (e.g., with failure detecto...

We define two new classes of shared-memory objects: ratifiers, which detect agreement, and conciliators, which ensure agreement with some probability. We show that consensus can...
Nowadays, there are many protocols able to cope with process crashes, but, unfortunately, a process crash represents only a particular faulty behavior. Handling tougher failures (...
