Anonymous Asynchronous Systems: The Case of Failure Detectors
Abstract: Due the multiplicity of loci of control, a main issue distributed systems have to cope with lies in the uncertainty on the system state created by the adversaries that ar...

Solving Consensus in a Byzantine Environment Using an Unreliable Fault Detector
Unreliable fault detectors can be used to solve the consensus problem in asynchronous distributed systems that are subject to crash faults. We extend this result to asynchronous d...

Failure Detection and Randomization: A Hybrid Approach to Solve Consensus
We present a consensus algorithm that combines unreliable failure detection and randomization, two well-known techniques for solving consensus in asynchronous systems with crash f...

On Quiescent Reliable Communication
We study the problem of achieving reliable communication with quiescent algorithms (i.e., algorithms that eventually stop sending messages) in asynchronous systems with process cra...

The weakest failure detector for wait-free dining under eventual weak exclusion
Dining philosophers is a classic scheduling problem for local mutual exclusion on arbitrary conflict graphs. We establish necessary conditions to solve wait-free dining under even...
