Simulation of quorum systems in ad hoc networks

In 3rd International Conference on Artificial Intelligence in Engineering and Technology, November 2006.

Abstract

There are many essential applications for quorum systems in ad-hoc networks, such as that of location servers in large-scale networks. Existing research proposes many approaches to the problems, many of which are incomplete, cumbersome, or incur significant cost. We describe and analyse a self-organising quorum system that creates an emergent intelligence to minimize overhead and maximize survivability. We then examine the quorum.s performance as a location server and suggest improvements to the query mechanism and to the routing algorithm using the information.
