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...
Abstract. We consider wireless ad-hoc networks and implement failure detections mechanisms. These failure detectors provide elementary information for high level distributed algori...
We study the implication that various timeliness and failure detector assumptions have on the performance of consensus algorithms that exploit them. We present a general framework...
We present a modular redesign of TrustedPals, a smartcard-based security framework for solving secure multiparty computation (SMC)[?]. TrustedPals allows to reduce SMC to the probl...
Abstract. The performance of consensus and atomic broadcast algorithms using failure detectors is often affected by a trade-off between the number of communication steps and the ...
Failure detector class Ωk has been defined in [18] as an extension to failure detector Ω, and an algorithm has been given in [16] to solve k-set agreement using Ωk in async...
—Failure detectors are a fundamental part of safe fault-tolerant distributed systems. Many failure detectors use heartbeats to draw conclusions about the state of nodes within a ...

—In this paper we show that it is possible to implement a perfect failure detector P (one that detects all faulty processes if and only if those processes failed) in a non-synchr...
