Abstract

Computing entities in a dynamic, decentralized computing environment are treated as if these computing entities were nodes in a graph linked by edges so as to match these nodes until no further matches are possible. New nodes may dynamically be introduced into the decentralized computing environment and yet various embodiments of the present invention continue to match nodes while inhibiting deadlocks in the decentralized computing environment.
