Title
An adaptive coupling-based algorithm for internal clock synchronization of large scale dynamic systems
Abstract
This paper proposes an internal clock synchronization algorithm which combines the gossip-based paradigm with a nature-inspired approach coming from the coupled oscillators phenomenon. The proposed solution allows a very large number of clocks to self-synchronize without any central control, despite node departure and arrival. This addresses the needs of an emergent class of large-scale peer-to-peer applications that have to operate without any assumptions on the underlying infrastructure. Empirical evaluation shows extremely good convergence and stability under different network settings.
