Title
Self-Stabilizing Distributed Cooperative Reset
Abstract
We propose a self-stabilizing reset algorithm working in anonymous networks. This algorithm resets the network in a distributed non-centralized manner, as each process detecting an inconsistency may initiate a reset. It is also cooperative in the sense that it coordinates concurrent reset executions in order to gain efficiency. Our approach is general since our reset algorithm allows to build self-stabilizing solutions for various problems and settings. As a matter of fact, it applies to both static and dynamic specifications since we propose efficient self-stabilizing reset-based algorithms for the 1-minimal (f,g)-alliance (a generalization of the dominating set problem) in identified networks and the unison problem in anonymous networks. These two latter instantiations enhance the state of the art. Indeed, in the former case, our solution is more general than the previous ones; while in the latter case, the time complexity of the proposed unison algorithm is better than that of previous ones.
