<p>The present invention provides a system for entropy-based stability management, comprising a hardware processor in a hierarchical network; and a computing node, coupled to the processor, comprising an operational agent for autonomous self-promotion and self-demotion in the network; the operational agent having logic to (a) promote the node to a first cluster level above a second cluster level so the node becomes part of a virtual cluster (140A) at the first cluster level while remaining in a virtual cluster (130A) at the second cluster level, and (b) demote the node to a third cluster level below the second cluster level so the node no longer remains in the virtual cluster at the second cluster level.
A stability agent collects stability information from a plurality of nodes on the network to determine a relative dependability between and among the plurality of nodes and to calculate a level of stability of each node using entropy-based statistical methods.</p> |
