The Weakest Failure Detector for Solving Consensus
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...

A probabilistic loading-dependent model of cascading failure and possible implications for blackouts
Catastrophic disruptions of large, interconnected infrastructure systems are often due to cascading failure. For example, large blackouts of electric power systems are typically c...

Fail-Aware Failure Detectors
In existing asynchronous distributed systems it is impossible to implement failure detectors which are perfect, i.e. they only suspect crashed processes and eventually suspect all...

Proactive replication in distributed storage systems using machine availability estimation
Distributed storage systems provide data availability by means of redundancy. To assure a given level of availability in case of node failures, new redundant fragments need to be ...

Virtually-Synchronous Communication Based on a Weak Failure Suspector
Failure detectors (or, more accurately Failure Suspectors { FS) appear to be a fundamental service upon which to build fault-tolerant, distributed applications. This paper shows t...
