Who's On Board? Probabilistic Membership for Real-Time Distributed Control Systems (Extended)

Rachid Guerraoui, David Kozhaya, Yvonne Anne Pignolet-Oswald

To increase their dependability, distributed control systems (DCSs) need to agree in real time about which hosts have crashed, i.e., they need a real-time membership service. In this paper, we prove that such a service cannot be implemented deterministical ...
