Abstract. Context-aware computing can play a major role to improve the services of mobile networking systems. In this paper, we focus on optimizing handover decisions based not only on the signal quality, but also on the knowledge about the context of mobile devices and networks. Since context information and context processing evolves fast, we propose a flexible, integrated approach for context management, which can adapt in several ways. Our architecture encompasses active platforms in network nodes and mobile devices, distributed context management components on these platforms, and service deployment for network services. This flexible architecture is able to actively deploy different handover services. It can manage different kinds of context information and allow mobile devices to be always connected to the most suitable access network. Our architecture is validated in a prototype implementation.

“…The service creation engine matches service component requirements against node capabilities and performs the necessary dependency resolution. More details about this mapping process can be found in [8], [9]. Since the service creation engine is implemented on each active node, active node manufacturers are enabled to optimize the mapping process for their particular node.…”

This paper 1 describes a holistic approach towards the deployment and runtime management of services on active network nodes taken by the FAIN project. Both the underlying service model and the architectures supporting deployment and management are component oriented. The separation of service meta-information and implementation code allows for a very flexible way of service deployment management as it facilitates selective code distribution, finegrained installation and instantiation. Active services are composed from a set of service components that can be selected on demand at deployment time and installed in any combination of the data, control, and management planes which enables realisation of arbitrary active services.

Abstract. Network processors have been developed to ease the implementation of new network protocols in high-speed routers. Being embedded in network interface cards, they enable extended packet processing at link speed as is required, for instance, for active network nodes. Active network nodes start using network processors for extended packet processing close to the link. The control and configuration of high-performance active network nodes with network processors such that new services can benefit from the additional processing capacity offered is nontrivial since the complexity to configure a node while providing sufficient level of abstraction is hard to master. In this paper, we present PromethOS NP which is a modular and flexible router architecture that provides a framework for dynamic service extension by plugins with integrated support of network processors, namely the IBM PowerNP 4GS3 network processor. We briefly introduce the PowerNP architecture in order to show how our active networking framework maps onto this network processor and provide results from performance measurements. Owing to architectural similarities of network processors, we believe that our considerations are also valid for other network processors.
