Simulations and Reductions for Colored Tasks

Abstract

In this chapter, we study simulations and reductions for colored tasks. Earlier, in Chapter 7, we studied simulations and reductions for colorless tasks and showed how to construct reductions from one failure model to another. Because the tasks under consideration were colorless, we had considerable flexibility to move between models that encompass different numbers of processes.

In this chapter we show how to use the results of Chapter 11 to study simulations and reductions for colored tasks. Earlier, in Chapter 7 ...
