Synchrony weakened by message adversaries vs asynchrony restricted by failure detectors

M Raynal, J Stainer - Proceedings of the 2013 ACM symposium on …, 2013 - dl.acm.org
A message adversary is a daemon that suppresses messages in round-based message-
passing synchronous systems in which no process crashes. A property imposed on a …

Increasing the power of the iterated immediate snapshot model with failure detectors

M Raynal, J Stainer - International Colloquium on Structural Information …, 2012 - Springer
The base distributed asynchronous read/write computation model is made up of n
asynchronous processes which communicate by reading and writing atomic registers only …

Partial synchrony based on set timeliness

MK Aguilera, C Delporte-Gallet, H Fauconnier… - Proceedings of the 28th …, 2009 - dl.acm.org
We introduce a new model of partial synchrony for read-write shared memory systems. This
model is based on the notion of set timeliness--a natural and straightforward generalization …

Asynchronous failure detectors

A Conrejo, N Lynch, S Sastry - … of the 2012 ACM symposium on …, 2012 - dl.acm.org
Failure detectors-oracles that provide information about process crashes-are an important
abstraction for crash tolerance in distributed systems. Although current failure-detector …

The generalized loneliness detector and weak system models for k-set agreement

M Biely, P Robinson, U Schmid - IEEE Transactions on Parallel …, 2013 - ieeexplore.ieee.org
This paper presents two weak partially synchronous system models M anti (nk) and M sink
(nk), which are just strong enough for solving k-set agreement: We introduce the generalized …

Computability Abstractions for Fault-tolerant Asynchronous Distributed Computing

J Stainer - 2015 - inria.hal.science
This thesis studies computability in systems composed of multiple computers exchanging
messages or sharing memory. The considered models take into account the possible failure …

[BOOK][B] A prescription for partial synchrony

S Sastry - 2011 - search.proquest.com
Algorithms in message-passing distributed systems often require partial synchrony to
tolerate crash failures. Informally, partial synchrony refers to systems where timing bounds …

Brief announcement: failure detectors encapsulate fairness

SM Pike, S Sastry, JL Welch - International Symposium on Distributed …, 2010 - Springer
Fairness is a measure of the number of steps a process takes relative to other processes
and/or messages in transit. We argue that failure detectors encapsulate fairness. As …
