Abstract
A method for controlling devices in a de-centralized storage environment comprises partitioning a plurality of devices in a network into a plurality of super-cells, wherein each super-cell comprises a subset of the plurality of devices. For each super-cell, a system controller is configured to nominate a device in the super-cell as a nucleus device, wherein the nucleus device in the super-cell controls member devices in the super-cell. The system controller is further configured to transmit commands associated with a specific task to the nucleus device and receive information from the nucleus device regarding performance of the specific task, wherein the information comprises information aggregated from the member devices of the super-cell associated with a performance of a respective portion of the specific task.
