This paper describes a solution to the replica management problem in asynchronous distributed systems in which processes can crash and recover. Our solution is based on an Atomic Broadcast primitive which, in turn, is based on an underlying Consensus algorithm. The proposed technique makes a bridge between established results on Weighted Voting and recent results on the Consensus problem.
