Abstract

The problem of cooperatively performing a collection of tasks in a decentralized setting where the computing medium is subject to adversarial perturbations is one of the fundamental problems in distributed computing. Such perturbations can be caused by processor failures, unpredictable delays, and communication breakdowns.(i)~failure-sensitive bounds for distributed cooperation problems for synchronous processors subject to crash failures.These research results are motivated by the earlier work of the third author with Paris C. Kanellakis at Brown University.
