Announcements

1. Assignment deadline extended to November 10.
2. We are preparing some sample input/output files to test your code, these will be available as soon as they are ready.
3. The required format for README file has been updated to be 1 page max. See pdf for details.

Notes

1. The log file should have name log.txt
2. Sample Files
   1. Input 0,Log 0
   2. Input 1,Log 1
   3. Input 2,Log 2
   4. Input 3,Log 3
3. In the sample files, we have provided some logs for the broadcast part only as a guide for the type of output and format expected. This will be different depending on your strategy, so do not worry if it is different; in fact it is expected to be different.
4. Your sequence of events (edge added, leaders selected etc) may not match exactly with our sample logs. Don't worry if this happens. It happens in a distributed system, due to different nodes working at different times. Howvever, the overall set of edges of the MST should still be the same. (also note that the sequence of edges are unlikely to be entirely different.)

Other announcements related to the assignment will be placed on this page.
