Failure detectors are commonly viewed as abstractions for the synchronism present in distributed system models. However, investigations into the exact amount of synchronism encapsu...
Vanderbauwhede and van Gils, Krupa, and Langford studied unfoldings of bifurcations with purely imaginary eigenvalues and a nonsemisimple linearization, which generically occurs i...
In this paper we study the implementability of different classes of failure detectors in several models of partial synchrony. We show that no failure detector with perpetual accur...
