Abstract: We give a formal definition of what it means for a system to "tolerate" a class of "faults". The definition consists of two conditions: One, if a fault occurs when the system state is within a set of "legal" states, the resulting state is within some larger set and, if faults continue occurring, the system state remains within that larger set (Closure). And two, if faults stop occurring, the system eventually reaches a state within the legal set (Convergence). We demonstrate the applicability... (Update)
