Abstract
LightKone combines two recent advances in distributed computing to enable general-purpose computing on edge networks: * Synchronization-free programming: Large-scale applications can run efficiently on edge networks by using convergent data structures (based on Lasp and Antidote from previous project SyncFree) → tolerates dynamicity and loose coupling of edge networks * Hybrid gossip: Communication can be made highly resilient on edge networks by combining gossip with classical distributed algorithms (based on Plumtree epidemic broadcast trees used in industry) → combines naturally with synchronization-free programming
