ABSTRACT We consider unidirectional, strongly connected networks of identical finite - state automata, of bounded in - and out - degree but unknown topology and unbounded size n Protocols which are quadratic or linear in n are provided which accomplish the following tasks: wake - up and report when done; construct spanning trees out from the root and in to the root; conduct breadth - first and depth - first searches; send a message from the end - point of an (unidirectional) arc to its start - point; run a slow clock; and solve the firing squad synchronization problem Our protocols are highly parallel and use a new tech - nique - a special kind of moving data structures we call snakes |
