Abstract

We introduce a self-stabilizing group communication system for ad-hoc networks. The system design is based on random walks of mobile agents. Three possible settings for modeling the location of the processors in the ad-hoc network are presented; slow location change, complete random change, and neighbors with probability. The group membership algorithm is based on collecting and distributing information by a mobile agent. The new techniques support group membership and multicast, and also support resource allocation.
