This is an Erlang/OTP implementation of the Newscast gossip protocol. The Newscast model is a general approach for communication in large agent-based distributed systems. Newscast solves two main problems, information dissemination and membership management, in a highly reliable and fully distributed manner allowing the model to scale to extremely large networks.
