Abstract

We propose a generalized scheme that can convert any algorithm that self-stabilizes under an unfair central daemon into a randomized one that self-stabilizes under a distributed daemon, using only constant extra space and without IDs. If the original algorithm is anonymous the resulting self-stabilizing algorithm is also anonymous. We provide a detailed complexity analysis that show that the expected slowdown is upper bounded by O(n3).
