Abstract.

In this paper, we propose a distributed algorithm for solving a resource location problem in distributed systems. The proposed algorithm is fully distributed in the sense that it assumes no centralized control, and has a remarkable property such that it can always find a target node satisfying a certain property, if any. The result of simulations implies that: (1) the performance of the underlying load sharing scheme can be significantly improved by increasing the preciseness of a node location, and (2) in the proposed scheme, the average number of inquiries per location is bounded by a very small value (e.g., only two inquiries are enough even when the underlying system consists of 100 nodes).
