Abstract

See full text

A method for independently executing software components in a node of a network containing many nodes. The method includes the step of generating a logical hierarchy of the roles of the nodes where any node can assume one or multiple roles, with the assumption of which neither requires nor precludes the assumption of any other role, and with the hierarchy having three or more levels. The method also includes the step of negotiating the role of the nodes when there is a change in the configuration of the network, with the node at the lowest level of the hierarchy being able to assume the role of the highest level of the hierarchy.
