Fault-tolerant distributed systems based on fieldbuses may benefit to a great extent from the availabilityof semantically rich communication services,such as those provided by g...
Abstract. We argue that failure detectors encapsulate fairness. Fairness is a measure of the number of steps a process takes relative to another processes and/or messages in transi...
This paper tackles the consensus problem in asynchronous systems prone to byzantine failures. One way to circumvent the FLP impossibility result consists in adding synchrony assump...
