Abstract
It is now recognized that the Consensus problem is a fundamental problem wh en one has to design and implement reliable asynchronous distributed system s. This chapter is on the Consensus problem. It studies Consensus in two fa ilure models, namely, the Crash/no Recovery,model and the Crash/Recovery mo del. The assumptions related to the detection of failures that are required to solve Consensus in a given model are particularly emphasized.
