SmartMal: A Service-Oriented Behavioral Malware Detection Framework for Mobile Devices

Algorithm 1

Algorithm to elect the major server.

INPUT: Server Set 𝑆 and tag_𝑗,𝑗∈[1,𝑛].

OUTPUT: Major Server ID

(1) for each server tag_𝑖 in 𝑆

(2) send request with 𝑡𝑎𝑔_𝑠 to all other servers

(3) receive requests from all other servers

(4) if   tag_𝑖<Min{tag_𝑗,𝑗∈[1,𝑛],𝑗≠𝑖}  then

(5)  set server tag_𝑖 as the main server

(6) else then

(7)  set server Min{tag_𝑗,𝑗∈[1,𝑛],𝑗≠𝑖} as main server

(8) end if

(9) end for
