Abstract. We study the problem of global predicate detection in presence of permanent and transient failures. We term the transient failures as small faults. We show that it is imp...
Writing correct distributed programs is hard. In spite of extensive testing and debugging, software faults persist even in commercial grade software. Many distributed systems, esp...
We show that the problem of predicate detection in distributed systems is NP-complete. In the past, efficient algorithms have been developed for special classes of predicates suc...
