The idea is this: In one "logical step" of the system nodes can only interact with their neighbors. If node A wants data&nbsp;to reach&nbsp;node B, which is in another clique, then A interacts with one of its neighbors A' that is closer to B. In the next step, A' can interact with one of its neighbors&nbsp;B', which is also a neighbor of B. In the third step, B' interacts directly with B. The only trick is to add the operations&nbsp;enabling these steps. A realistic system will almost certainly have these multi-step operations. However, in our approach we want to avoid operations that identify specific nodes (e.g. A and B) since we don't know how reliable they are or how they will be connected. Instead, we partition that data across different<STRONG> types</STRONG> of nodes (e.g. Type A nodes and Type B nodes) in the hope that we can always find a node of the proper type in the cloud.&nbsp;Please let me&nbsp;know if that answers your question?<BR><BR>Thanks&nbsp;http://channel9.msdn.com/posts/Peli/Specifying-Cloud-Applications/?CommentID=455696Fri, 30 Jan 2009 21:24:30 GMThttp://channel9.msdn.com/posts/Peli/Specifying-Cloud-Applications/?CommentID=4556960http://channel9.msdn.com/455696/WebViewBug.aspx?EVT=0Hi aL_,That's an interesting question.
