This paper considers the k-set agreement problem in a crash-prone asynchronous message passing system enriched with failure detectors. Two classes of failure detectors have been previously identified as necessary to solve asynchronous k-set agreement: the class anti-leader anti−Ω and the weak-quorum class Σk. The paper investigates the families of failure detector (anti−Ωx)1≤x≤n and (Σz)1≤z≤n. ...

Reciprocally, climate anomalies and other processes of environmental change of natural and anthropogenic origin have been affecting, and often disrupting, societies throughout history. Transient impact events, despite their brevity, can have significant long-term impact on society, particularly ...
