Abstract

The chase for the weakest system model that allows to solve consensus has long been an active branch of research in distributed algorithms. To circumvent the FLP impossibility in asynchronous systems, many models in between synchrony and asynchrony have been proposed over the years. Of specific interest is the chase for the weakest system model that allows the implementation of an eventual leader oracle Ω, and thus also enables consensus to be solved.
