Title: Searching for Searchers
Author(s): Colin L. Mallows*+ and Jean Meloche
Companies: Avaya Labs Research and Avaya Labs Research
Address: 233 Mt. Airy Rd., Basking Ridge, NJ, 07920,
Keywords: search ; functional equations
Abstract:

We describe a search problem that has arisen in the context of network monitoring. A known, very large, region may contain one or more "agents." Starting with just one agent, we search until another agent is found; this new agent can assist in the remaining search, and so on recursively.

  • Authors who are presenting talks have a * after their name.
