Self Configuration - Techniques

• Can be Categorized as following
• Integrated Techniques for self-assembly
• Enable SC both at lower level layers in addition
  to higher levels such as distributed name spaces
• Self-healing in deeply distributed Systems
• Enable SC both at lower level layers in addition
  to higher levels such as distributed name spaces
• Simple localized algorithms
• Effects coordinated data collection and
  processing to achieve measurement aggregation or
  higher-level alert generation e.g. Structured
  network organization, directed diffusion
• Protocol and System level Techniques
• Enable energy-efficient way and used for
  designing robust operation
