Definition of "Election Algorithm" |
An election algorithm can be used in a distributed system to select a single coordinator. When the election is terminated, there is only one node that calls itself the coordinator or declares itself as the leader, and the other nodes know the identity of this coordinator. The problem is to start from a configuration where all processes are in the same state, and despite failures and unreliable proceeses they should finally arrive at a configuration where exactly one node or process is in the state leader and all other process are in the state non-leader. The election problem is often considered in fully connected networks, where every node is connected to every other node so that any node may send a message to any other. |
