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...

Brief Announcement: The Minimum Failure Detector for Non-Local Tasks in Message-Passing Systems
This paper defines the basic notions of local and non-local tasks, and determines the minimum information about failures that is necessary to solve any non-local task in message-p...

Failure Detectors and Extended Paxos for k-Set Agreement
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...

A Realistic Look At Failure Detectors
This paper shows that, in an environment where we do not bound the number of faulty processes, the class P of Perfect failure detectors is the weakest (among realistic failure det...
