Abstract

The goal of decentralized consensus protocols is to exchange information among nodes so that each node acquires the information held by every other node in the system. This paper presents a quorum-based, self-stabilizing maxima finding protocol which is based on a decentralized consensus protocol. The protocol exchanges information with less delay than existing ring-based, self-stablizing protocols. Furthermore, quorums can be composed, and the resulting composite quorums can be used to efficiently obtain a solution for any internetwork.
