Hi Gaëtan, > I am wondering if there any work done about decentralise architecture for ROS. I mean connection and exchange of services between nodes without the need of a ROS Master, in an "ad hok mode". > > I found no information about this neither in the Wiki, FAQ or ROS Answer pages. > > If you have some information about previous or ongoing work on the subject I'm interested ! For now the suggested multi-master approach is the best way to go. For the future we are actively thinking about master-less solutions. But this is all still in "white-board" phase and nothing which will be available in the near term. As soon as ideas and concepts get more concrete we will put together information in the Wiki. Dirk
