Abstract

Switching between protocols based on environment is an elegant idea of enabling adaptation in distributed systems. In this paper, we give one approach of switching between two connected dominating set (CDS) construction protocols, one suitable for low load and the other suitable for higher load. In this method, the two connected dominating sets are computed in advance and switching is done between the two precomputed outputs. In addition, some CDS of the network is always maintained when switching is in progress.
