Abstract:
1. A method for operating a group of nodes in a system for agile computing comprising a coordinator node and a first computation node communicating via a connection, the first computation node performing a task for the coordinator node, the method comprising the steps of: monitoring at least one operating parameter indicating the quality of the connection between the coordinator node and the first computation node, determining a quality parameter based on the operating parameter, wherein the quality parameter indicates the quality of the connection between the coordinator node and the first computation node, transferring information from the first computation node to the coordinator node, when the value of the quality parameter falls within a transfer interval, wherein the information comprises information about a part of a task performed by the first computation node; and deciding whether the first computation node should stop or continue performing the task after the step of transferring information about the performed part of the task.
