Recovery from Node Failure in a Contract NET
Philip Steven Prince · Defense Technical Information Center (DTIC) · 1980
The problem of a catastrophic node failure in a contract net is addressed. The Stanford Research Institute Problem Solver (STRIPS) will be distributed by means of the contract net protocol, and used as a medium for studying the methods that might be used to recover from the node failure. Four methods will be described and compared, with respect to normal and recovery operational costs.
