Abstract

Leader election has been studied intensively in recent years. In this paper, we present an analysis of a randomized leader election using probabilistic model checking with PRISM. We first investigate the quantitative properties of the original protocol such as the expected number of election rounds. Then we modify the protocol so that it consumes less energy and processes with larger energy have higher chance to be elected. The modified protocol is modeled as Markov Decision Process, which allow us to compute minimum and maximum values, interpreting the best- and worst-case performance of the protocol under any scenario.
