Protocols which solve agreement problems are essential building blocks for fault tolerant distributed applications. While many protocols have been published, little has been done ...
We prove two theorems saying that no distributed system in which processes coordinate using reliable registers and -resilient services can solve the consensus problem in the prese...

We provide a novel model to formalize a well-known algorithm, by Chandra and Toueg, that solves Consensus among asynchronous distributed processes in the presence of a particular ...
Consensus is one of the most fundamental problems in fault-tolerant distributed computing. This paper proposes a mechanical method for analyzing the condition that allows one to s...
Mobile ad hoc networks (MANETs) raise new challenges in designing protocols for solving the consensus problem. Among the others, how to design message efficient protocols so as to...
