Failure Detectors Encapsulate Fairness
Failure detectors are commonly viewed as abstractions for the synchronism present in distributed system models. However, investigations into the exact amount of synchronism encapsu...

Heartbeat: A Timeout-Free Failure Detector for Quiescent Reliable Communication
Abstract. We study the problem of achieving reliable communication with quiescent algorithms (i.e., algorithms that eventually stop sending messages) in asynchronous systems with p...

Unreliable Failure Detectors via Operational Semantics
Abstract. The concept of unreliable failure detectors for reliable distributed systems was introduced by Chandra and Toueg as a fine-grained means to add weak forms of synchrony i...

Brief Announcement: The Minimum Failure Detector for Non-Local Tasks in Message-Passing Systems
This paper defines the basic notions of local and non-local tasks, and determines the minimum information about failures that is necessary to solve any non-local task in message-p...

A Simple and Fast Asynchronous Consensus Protocol Based on a Weak Failure Detector
or fault-tolerant asynchronous systems. It abstracts a family of problems known as Agreement (or Coordination) problems. Any solution to consensus can serve as a basic building blo...
