“…Our primary focus was on experimenting with the adaptive routing protocol strategy. The results from testbed tests as reported in [18] have been very promising, as our framework performs as expected. In parallel to the proper operation of the framework one parameter that we see as important to be assessed is that of the efficiency of the context information dissemination.…”

Pervasive computing environments based on the ubiquitous communications paradigm have attracted significant research interest and have found increased applicability in commercial settings, attributed to the fact that they provide seamless, customized and unobtrusive services to their users. The majority of solutions proposed in the related literature to enable pervasive computing involves specific platforms and rigid architectures that are tightly bound with their target applications and services. This approach suffers from having to introduce new context-aware applications, thus limiting deployment in existing configurations. Nevertheless, the notion of pervasive computing calls for solutions to be tailored to user needs and not conversely. In this paper we introduce a framework that enables systems to become pervasive in a transparent manner, handling context monitoring and ubiquitous communications issues behind the scenes without affecting existing applications. Pervasive behavior is guaranteed by adapting systems based on monitored context information and guiding their re-configuration. We present the architecture of our proposed framework and discuss application scenarios, while considering evaluation aspects.

“…There are a limited number of approaches that focus on dynamic environments, such as MANETS. In [9], the authors propose a context-aware system that performs protocol deployment. The reconfigurable context-sensitive middleware (RCSM) [10] deals with context awareness in mobile devices assuming reliable underlying ad hoc transport protocols.…”

Abstract-There has recently been an increasing research interest in network management infrastructures that autonomously adapt to the dynamics of the environment. In this paper, we present an information management platform, called the Information Management Overlay (IMO), which is an infrastructure that regulates information flow based on the properties and the state of the network environment. We discuss the design, implementation and optimization issues of this platform and we investigate experimentally how the IMO can adapt to different settings and optimization requirements.

“…Different routing schemes provide optimal performance under different operating conditions. In some cases, using hybrid proactive and reactive routing or using them intelligently can further improve performance [9]. Multipath routing allows the establishment of multiple paths between a single source and single destination nodes.…”

“…Similar to service discovery in other fixed networks, service discovery in MANETs that is directory-less and without overlay network support includes several procedures. Services in MANETs can be tangible or intangible [9]. For example, a service could be a software service like a ftp server on a mobile device so that when others need this service, they can contact this mobile device and use it.…”

Multipath cross-layer service discovery (MCSD) for mobile ad hoc networks

In this paper, we propose and study how to provide multipath cross-layer service discovery (MCSD) for mobile ad hoc networks (MANETs). Cross-layer service discovery integrates service discovery into route discovery by taking advantage of network-layer topology information and routing message exchange. Multipath service discovery differs from multipath routing in that multipath service discovery can be either multipath from a client to a server or multipath from a client to multiple servers, depending on the policy used in service selection and invocation. Compared with the traditional unipath cross-layer service discovery (UCSD), MCSD performs better in terms of improving throughput, enhancing service availability and optimizing network-layer resources. However, as a new service discovery scheme, MCSD posts a lot of challenges, particularly in the process of service discovery and how to find the optimal multipath. Due to the complexity of the problem, we focus on double-path cross-layer service discovery (DCSD), a special and most important case of MCSD. We present a heuristic, called iDCSD, which can intelligently find the optimal routes out of the candidate paths from a client to a server and from a client to two servers by minimizing hop count in network layer. Extensive simulation results show that compared with UCSD, i) MCSD delivers better service availability; and ii) the proposed iDCSD leads to a better network-layer performance with reasonable computational complexity.Index Terms-Multipath cross-layer service discovery; multi-path routing; double-path cross-layer service discovery; service discovery; MANET
