| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
A typical distributed problem known as the agreement problem commonly arises from many problems in many different areas, when we look into the distributed computation structure of a problem, ignoring proper aspects and restrictions of each area. Examples are understanding how functionalities emerges in biomolecule systems, controlling positions of autonomous mobile robots, consistency control in database systems, and election in human society. In the light of this fact, we have introduced and studied the problem of constructing a generic theory of distributed computing for understanding and controlling huge distributed systems.
In this project, we focused on autonomy, and investigated why natural distributed systems consisting of primitive elements that even do not have identifiers or memory, can have rich autonomous properties from the view of distributed computing, and constructed a method to implement these autonomous properties to huge distributed systems.
