Epidemic Computing: a registration-free best-effort distributed computing model for unmanaged device crowds

Crowds carry a large amount of idle computing capacity, but no entity can enumerate the devices. Managed distributed computing mobilizes only the registered fraction of the crowd, and most capacity remains unused when few register. We propose Epidemic Computing (EC), in which the...
