Fault-Tolerant Consensus in Unknown and Anonymous Networks

Published 20 Mar 2009 in cs.DS and cs.DC | (0903.3461v1)

Abstract: This paper investigates under which conditions information can be reliably shared and consensus can be solved in unknown and anonymous message-passing networks that suffer from crash-failures. We provide algorithms to emulate registers and solve consensus under different synchrony assumptions. For this, we introduce a novel pseudo leader-election approach which allows a leader-based consensus implementation without breaking symmetry.
