Abstract

The paper presents a technique for achieving stabilization in distributed systems. This technique, called agent-stabilization, uses an external tool, the agent, that can be considered as a special message created by a lower layer. Basically, an agent performs a traversal of the network and if necessary, modifies the local states of the nodes, yielding stabilization.
