Claim Text:
1. A method comprising: detecting that a trigger for creating a temporary collaborative ad-hoc network of hardware nodes has occurred; creating the temporary collaborative ad-hoc network of hardware nodes via intercommunication among the hardware nodes responsive to the trigger occurring; after the temporary collaborative ad-hoc network of hardware nodes has been created, performing a given function by the temporary collaborative ad-hoc network of hardware nodes; and performing a roll call request by a first hardware node within the temporary collaborative ad-hoc network including ascertaining by the first hardware node a correctness of the list of the hardware nodes within the temporary collaborative ad-hoc network that satisfies a threshold, wherein the first hardware node ascertains the correctness of the list of the hardware nodes within the temporary collaborative ad-hoc network that satisfies the threshold such that the correctness of the list of the hardware nodes is not necessarily completely correct.
