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...
Abstract. We study the problem of global predicate detection in presence of permanent and transient failures. We term the transient failures as small faults. We show that it is imp...
We introduce the notion of a swift algorithm. Informally, an algorithm that solves the repeated consensus is swift if, in a partial synchronous run of this algorithm, eventually no...
