Abstract | We study in this paper three classical problems of fault tolerance in a system where the set of processes is unknown. These three problems are: the consensus, the implementation of atomics registers and the eventual leader election. For this, we consider different models. In the first one, the communication and the processes are asynchronous. In this model, these three problems could not be solved, but we define the weakest failure detectors needed to solve them. We consider then a model where the processes and the communication are synchronous, which permit to realize synchronous rounds. In this case, the processes are created dynamically and may have crash failures. We prove that, if for all rounds at least one process is alive in two consecutive rounds, the consensus and the implementation of registers could be solved. The eventual leader election, which is in this case less interesting, can be solved also. Between these two extremities, we focus on the case where the communications are asynchronous. Concerning processes, we assume that, onetime a process is created, it remains alive forever. In this case, if the leader election is easy, the consensus and the implementation of registers are impossible. If we augment the system with the failure detector (Σ) which permits to realize a quorum, consensus and implementation of atomic register can be solved. At the end, we consider a partially synchronous model and we prove that the consensus and the implementation of atomic register could be solved if there exists a process that can communicate synchronously with the other processes. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
