The Weakest Failure Detector to Solve the Mutual Exclusion Problem in an Unknown Dynamic Environment.
Résumé
Mutual exclusion is one of the fundamental problems in distributed computing but existing mutual exclusion algorithms are unadapted to the dynamics and lack of membership knowledge of current distributed systems (e.g., mobile ad-hoc networks, peer-to-peer systems, etc.). Additionally, in order to circumvent the impossibility of solving mutual exclusion in asynchronous message passing systems where processes can crash, some solutions include the use of (T +Σ^l), which is the weakest failure detector to solve mutual exclusion in known static distributed systems. In
this paper, we prove that (T +Σ^l) is also the weakest failure detector to solve mutual exclusion in unknown dynamic systems with partial memory losses. We consider that crashed processes may recover.
