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...
We determine what information about failures is necessary and sufficient to solve Consensus in asynchronous distributed systems subject to crash failures. In Chandra and Toueg [199...

: This paper is on failure detectors to solve the consensus problem in asynchronous systems made up of anonymous processes prone to crash and connected by asynchronous reliable cha...
This article determines the weakest failure detectors to implement shared atomic objects in a distributed system with crash-prone processes. We first determine the weakest failure...
The power of an object type T can be measured as the maximum number n of processes that can solve consensus using only objects of T and registers. This number, denoted cons(T), is ...
