Abstract

Failure detectors in asynchronous environments is studied using a novel generic formulation of failure detection properties which generalizes several previous works. An asynchronous environment that admits message omission failures is studied. Chandra and Toueg's definitions of failure detection Completeness and Accuracy to the omission failure model is adapted, and define an eventual weak failure detector that allows many majority of the process that become connected to reach a Consensus decision despite any number of transient communication failures in their past.
