Abstract

We mix two approaches of the fault-tolerance: robustness and stabilization. Using these approaches, we propose leader election algorithms that tolerate both transient and crash failures. Our goal is to show the implementability of the robust self- and/or pseudo- stabilizing leader election in various systems with weak reliability and synchrony assumptions. We try to propose, when it is possible, communicationefficient implementations. Also, we exhibit some assumptions required to obtain robust stabilizing leader election algorithms. Our results show that the gap between robustness and stabilizing robustness is not really significant when we consider fix-point problems such as leader election.
