Abstract
By a conflict profile we understand a set of data versions representing different opinions on some matter, generated by agents functioning in some sites of a distributed system. In purpose to solve this conflict the management system should determine a proper version of data for this matter. The final data version is called a consensus of given conflict profile. The main subject of this paper consists of consideration of existence and reasonableness of potential consensus. In other words, we consider problems related to consensus susceptibility of conflict profiles.
