Chapter 6. Networks-based Global Self-recovery

This chapter first mentions the existing publications on self-healing infrastructures and networks discussed in detail in the previous chapter, reviews self-recovery publications and also global networks, and then reminds features of Spatial Grasp Technology (SGT) with its basic Spatial Grasp Language (SGL) in which all chapter examples are presented. Then it shows how to create the whole distributed network starting from all nodes in parallel or from a single node and how the existing network can be copied by starting from all nodes in parallel or from a single node, with the full description then stored in all nodes. Then it describes network self-healing after arbitrary damages using the knowledge in still existing nodes by spatial network coverage in SGL. Using the proposed methods and results it describes a fully universal procedure originally associated with network nodes which converts the network with any possible damages into an “immortal creature” operating at any time and without any external support. The chapter shows how self-organized network can be extended with new nodes and links and become fully self-healing again. Finally, it relates to the area of global networks, showing how to make the obtained solutions most useful there practically.
