Resumen:
Failure detectors in the class {white diamond suit} W ensure that every crashed process is eventually suspected by a correct process, and eventually there is a correct process that is never suspected. Failure detectors in the class ? ensure that eventually all the processes trust the same correct process. This paper presents a very simple and efficient algorithm that transforms any failure detector of the class {white diamond suit} W into a failure detector of the class ?. The simplicity of the transformation is due to its modular design-it is based on an underlying reliable broadcast facility. It is quiescent and requires each message to carry only one process identity, in addition to the control information appended to a message by the reliable broadcast mechanism (namely, a sequence number and the identity of its sender). © 2006 Elsevier Inc.
