Sažetak
In distributed systems, very important information is that concerning physical time. Namely, due to the lack of global time and imperfections (e.g. skew) of physical clocks, in order to agree on common time, distributed nodes have to synchronize themselves. Although there are many algorithms that can be used as time synchronization mechanisms, those inspired by nature have the best characteristics. The biologically inspired mechanism design can be seen as a three step process in which some natural phenomenon is used as an inspiration for a design of a mechanism that is then implemented in a real-world environment. However, there is always a gap between nature and real-world implementations that needs to be filled. Therefore, in this lecture the focus will be on the obstacles for a firefly inspired algorithm to be directly implemented in heterogeneous Machine-to-Machine systems (i.e. the Borg).
