In distributed computing, multiple processes interact to solve a problem together. The main model of interaction is the message-passing model, where communicate by exchanging messages. Nevertheless, there are several models varying along important dimensions: degree synchrony, kinds faults, number faults... This variety compounded lack general formalism in which abstract these models. One way b...
