Abstract
The advent of large-scale sensor networks highlights problems of fault tolerance and scale in distributed system, motivating designs that autonomously recover from transient faults and spontaneous reconfiguration. Self-stabilization is an attractive approach for such problems, however the standard model of research for self-stabilizing algorithms does not suit ad hoc networks of wirelessly communicating sensor nodes. The paper surveys some standard models of self-stabilization and relates these models to a sensor network. Challenges and opportunities are for integrating self-stabilization with sensor networks are illustrated with examples.
