Abstract
We propose a self-stabilizing link formation algorithm based on a cooperative network formation game. An underlying network G = (V,E) consists of n processors represented by nodes V = {1,2,...,n}, and communication links represented by edges E = {ij | i,j ∈ V}. An agent network L = (A,E L ), where A = V and E L ⊆E, is defined on G. Let δ i be a benefit that agent i provides others, and c ij a cost of linking i with j that agent i incurs. We assume a state-reading model, a fair distributed daemon, and a token circulation for formation/severance of links.
