Resumen:
In distributed computing, some models do not allow solving all problems. There are various ways to prove such impossibilities. In this talk, we will see a purely algorithmic tool for proving such impossibilities: the BG simulation. This simulation shows that, in an asynchronous system, the important parameter with regard to calculability is not the total number of cooperating processes; it is how many of them can fail.
