In this paper we define the Weak Mutual Exclusion (WME) problem. Analogously to classical Distributed Mutual Exclusion (DME), WME serializes the accesses to a shared resource. Differently from DME, however, the WME abstraction regulates the access to a replicated shared resource, whose copies are locally maintained by every participating process. Also, in WME, processes suspected to have crashed are possibly ejected from the critical section
