  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 computational Internet-sized systems exists.
  We 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
  may not break the computation), and (3) scalability (communication among the
  nodes does not increase with network or problem size).},
