We determine what information about failures is necessary and sufficient to solve Consensus in asynchronous distributed systems subject to crash failures. In Chandra and Toueg [199...

The concept of unreliable failure detector was introduced by Chandra and Toueg as a mechanism that provides information about process failures. This mechanism has been used to sol...
Unreliable failure detectors are a well known means to enrich asynchronous distributed systems with time-free semantics that allow to solve consensus in the presence of crash failu...
In this work, we address Byzantine agreement in a message passing system with homonyms, i.e. a system with a number l of authenticated identities that is independent of the total ...
Abstract Many reliable distributed systems are consensusbased and typically operate under two modes: a fast normal mode in failure-free synchronous periods, and a slower recovery m...
