Failure detector failure detector "W" is weak in completeness, and the failure detector "S" is strong in completeness. They are both weak in accuracy. If all arguments above are satisfied, the reduction of a weak failure detector "W" to a strong failure detector "S" will agree with the algorithm within the distributed computing system. Failure detector In a distributed computing system, a failure detector is a computer application or a subsystem that is responsible for the detection of node failures or crashes. Failure detectors were first introduced in 1996 by Chandra and Toueg in their book "Unreliable Failure Detectors for Reliable Distributed
