Outline of Final Research Achievements

The aim of this research is to investigate possibility of a mesoscopic approach to design and analysis of distributes algorithms for very large scale distributed systems. The mesoscopic approach is an intermediate approach between classical macroscopic and microscopic approaches, and has possibility to bring the advantages of the both approaches: scalability and adaptability to diverse dynamics. We considered the following subjects.
(1) Development of the computation model of very large scale distributed systems suitable for the mesoscopic approach. (2) Case studies of the mesoscopic approach to prove its effectiveness. (3) Proposal of a mesoscopic design and analysis methodology of distributed algorithms for very large scale distributed systems.
