Abstract
Population protocols have been an active area of distributed computing for over a decade, as they are an abstract model of numerous real-world scenarios from sensor networks to biological computing paradigms. For this column, Dan Alistarh and Rati Gelashvili provide a timely overview of recent results on population protocols, focusing especially on the case when each agent in the system can have more than a constant amount of local memory. Several key building blocks are presented, followed by applications of these primitives, in an accessible way that conveys the excitement of fast-moving developments in the area.
