In this paper we consider the k-set agreement problem in distributed round-based systems where processes communicate by message passing. We capture the synchrony and reliability o...

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...

Failure detector class Ωk has been defined in [18] as an extension to failure detector Ω, and an algorithm has been given in [16] to solve k-set agreement using Ωk in async...
