Failure detectors — oracles that provide information about process crashes — are an important ion for crash tolerance in distributed systems. Although current failure-detector...

or fault-tolerant asynchronous systems. It abstracts a family of problems known as Agreement (or Coordination) problems. Any solution to consensus can serve as a basic building blo...
We consider asynchronous distributed systems with message losses and process crashes. We study the impact of finite process memory on the solution to consensus, repeated consensus ...
This paper is on the Consensus problem, in the context of asynchronous distributed systems made of n processes, at most f of them may crash. A family of failure detector classes s...
: While lots of consensus algorithms have been proposed for crash-prone asynchronous message-passing systems enriched with a failure detector of the class Ω (the class of eventua...
