Abstract

We describe a simple framework, called the transitive closure framework (TCF), for the self-stabilizing construction of any overlay network. The TCF is easy to reason about and algorithms derived from it stabilize within O(log n) more rounds than the optimal. As evidence of the power of this framework, we derive from the TCF a simple, self-stabilizing protocol for constructing Skip + graphs in O(log n) rounds.
