On the Impossibility of Implementing Perpetual Failure Detectors in Partially Synchronous Systems
In this paper we study the implementability of different classes of failure detectors in several models of partial synchrony. We show that no failure detector with perpetual accur...

Failure Detection with Booting in Partially Synchronous Systems
Unreliable failure detectors are a well known means to enrich asynchronous distributed systems with time-free semantics that allow to solve consensus in the presence of crash failu...

The weakest failure detector for solving k-set agreement
A failure detector is a distributed oracle that provides processes in a distributed system with hints about failures. The notion of a weakest failure detector captures the exact a...

Perfect Failure Detection in the Partitioned Synchronous Distributed System Model
—In this paper we show that it is possible to implement a perfect failure detector P (one that detects all faulty processes if and only if those processes failed) in a non-synchr...

Failure Detectors Encapsulate Fairness
Failure detectors are commonly viewed as abstractions for the synchronism present in distributed system models. However, investigations into the exact amount of synchronism encapsu...
