Abstract
A distributed computing system may allow multiple devices to distribute master node responsibilities. The various nodes in the system may be given unique, sequenced, node identifiers, and may periodically report their status to a central monitor or current master node. A comparison of the report time stamps and node identifiers, made against the node identifier of the current master node, may yield a determination as to whether the current master node should be replaced.
