  • executing on the processor instructions configured to;

    select from the nodes a neighbor set comprising at least one neighbor that is accessible over the at least one network to the computer and other neighbors of the neighbor set; and

    upon identifying an updated object in the object set;

    determine the neighbors in the neighbor set that are not storing the updated object;

    form a swarm network of swarm nodes comprising the neighbors not storing the updated object;
