Abstract

We introduce a self-stabilizing algorithm that builds and maintains a spanning tree topology on any large scale system. We assume that the existing topology is a complete graph and that nodes may arrive or leave at any time. To cope with the large number of processes of a grid or a peer to peer system, we limit the memory usage of each process to a small constant number of variables, combining this with previous results concerning failure detectors and resource discovery.
