Now the problem is that I need to generate a sequence of random numbers for all the sensor nodes, that is, after initiation and generation of the numbers, every node knows exactly what these numbers are. If I call the random number generator in the StdControl.init(), then each node may generate different numbers, and thus they can not achieve a consensus. Thus, do I have to generate these numbers via some outer programs and explicitly declare them in the node initiation? Is their any better methods?
