Abstract. This paper considers message-driven self-stabilizing implementations of unreliable failure detectors. We show that it is impossible to give a deterministic implementation...
The concept of unreliable failure detector was introduced by Chandra and Toueg [2] as a mechanism that provides information about process failures. Depending on the properties the...
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...
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...

Failure detectors are a service that provides (approximate) information about process crashes in a distributed system. The well-known “eventually perfect” failure detector, 3P...
