Tight failure detection bounds on atomic object implementations
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...

Failure detectors as type boosters
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 ...

The weakest failure detector for solving k-set agreement
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...

Consensus in Anonymous Distributed Systems: Is There a Weakest Failure Detector?
: 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...

From Crash-Stop to Permanent Omission: Automatic Transformation and Weakest Failure Detectors
Abstract. This paper studies the impact of omission failures on asynchronous distributed systems with crash-stop failures. We provide two different transformations for algorithms,...
