Seminar: Two-Tier Leadership Election
Current leadership election algorithms do not explicitly plan
for the failure of the leader, and thus must do system wide
elections each time a leader fails. To this end we propose
an algorithm that removes the need for system wide elections
after a leadership failure. Our technique has an initial
system wide election to elect a leader, and after the leader is
confirmed chooses subordinates with which to form a clique.
After the failure of the leader a subordinate assumes the
leaders position, and a new subordinate is selected to take
the vacated place.
