Abstract

We present a self-stabilizing clustering algorithm for asynchronous networks. Our algorithms works under any scheduler and is silent. The sizes of the clusters are bounded by a parameter of the algorithm. Our solution also avoids constructing a large number of small clusters. Although the clusters are disjoint (no node belongs to more than one cluster), the clusters are connected to form a tree so that the resulting overlay graph is connected. The height of the tree of clusters is bounded by the diameter of the network.
