This paper introduces a simple notion of layering as a tool for analyzing well-behaved runs of a given model of distributed computation. Using layering, a model-independent analysi...
A distributed consensus algorithm allows n processes to reach a common decision value starting from individual inputs. Wait-free consensus, in which a process always terminates wi...
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...
: While lots of consensus algorithms have been proposed for crash-prone asynchronous message-passing systems enriched with a failure detector of the class Ω (the class of eventua...
