We introduce the notion of a swift algorithm. Informally, an algorithm that solves the repeated consensus is swift if, in a partial synchronous run of this algorithm, eventually no...

—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...
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 detectors represent a very important building block in distributed applications. The speed and the accuracy of the failure detectors is critical to the performance of the ...
Abstract. This paper considers message-driven self-stabilizing implementations of unreliable failure detectors. We show that it is impossible to give a deterministic implementation...
