Abstract

This paper presents a new transformation which adds fault-containment properties to silent self-stabilizing algorithms. The transformation features a constant slow-down factor and the fault-gap-that is the minimal time between two containable faults-is also constant. The transformation scales well to arbitrarily large systems and avoids global synchronization. The presented transformation is the first with a constant fault-gap and requires no knowledge of the system size.
