  abstract = {Large networks, such as the Internet, pose an ideal medium for
  solving computationally intensive problems, such as NP-complete problems, yet
  no well-scaling architecture for Internet-sized systems exists. I propose a
  software architectural style for large networks, based on a formal
  mathematical study of crystal growth that will exhibit properties of (1)
  discreetness (nodes on the network cannot learn the algorithm or input of the
  computation), (2) fault-tolerance (malicious, faulty, and unstable nodes
  cannot break the computation), and (3) scalability (communication among the
  nodes does not increase with network or problem size). I plan to evaluate the
  style both theoretically and empirically for these three properties.},
