Research on self-* distributed algorithms in dynamic netwroks

在这个研究项目中，我们旨在研究大量计算机通过网络互连的分布式系统的软件开发方法。具体地说，目标分布式系统是指计算机动态加入和离开或网络拓扑变化的系统。我们的贡献主要是两方面的。首先，我们设计了对网络动态变化有很强适应性的分布式算法。接下来，我们通过计算机仿真和在传感器网络上的实现证明了该算法的有效性。

In this research project, we aim at studying the methodology of software development for distributed systems in which huge number of computers are interconnected by networks. Specifically, the target distributed system is the one in which computers dynamically join and leave or network topology changes. Our contribution is mainly twofold. First, we designed distributed algorithms that are strongly adaptive to dynamic change of networks. Next, we showed effectiveness of the algorithm by computer simulations and implementations on sensor networks.
