A modular approach to shared-memory consensus, with applications to the probabilistic-write model
We define two new classes of shared-memory objects: ratifiers, which detect agreement, and conciliators, which ensure agreement with some probability. We show that consensus can...

Hybrid object labelling in digital images
The application of a technique for labelling connected components based on the classical recursive technique is studied. The recursive approach permits labelling, counting, and cha...

Liveness-Preserving Simulation Relations
We present a new approach for reasoning about liveness properties of distributed systems, represented as automata. Our approach is based on simulation relations, and requires reas...

Canonical finite state machines for distributed systems
There has been much interest in testing from finite state machines (FSMs) as a result of their suitability for modelling or specifying state-based systems. Where there are multip...
