Popis: We present a self-stabilizing randomized protocol for the Unique Naming problem. In the Unique Naming problem an anonymous system assigns unique names to all the processors in the system. Let G be the underlying interconnection network. If N is a known bound on the network size then our protocol uses O(CGNlogN) bits and stabilizes within O(CG) rounds where CG is the cover time of G. The protocol is uniform, tolerates dynamic changes of the network topology, and works correctly under a very powerful adversary which at any stage has knowledge of a bounded number of future random choices of the processors and it can even bias all future random choices.
