“…Maniymaran et al (2007) for example combined structured and unstructured overlays and in doing so exploited the benefits of both approaches. In UP2P (Braun et al, 2008), a DHT-based super-overlay was proposed to manage the federation of multiple overlays and a related approach is adopted by MOMO (Matos et al, 2011b) in building a higher level control overlay.…”

“…Cooper (2006) also suggests the assignment of priorities to the different coexisting overlays, according to which the highest priority overlay would have more resources available without completely starving the other overlays. Lastly, Braun et al (2008) proposed the UP2P overlay for ubiquitous communications support, in which the notion of federated overlay organization is introduced. According to the latter work, distinct overlays can coexist by cooperating through the use of a super-overlay that connects all of them together and is in charge of routing messages from one overlay to another.…”

a b s t r a c t P2P overlay networks have attracted significant research interest due to their utility as virtualized abstractions of complex network infrastructures, optimized to satisfy specific criteria, e.g. minimum delay or shortest diameter. In the context of modern pervasive environments, which are characterized by complexity, heterogeneity, dynamicity, and mobility in terms of the underlying networks, the utilization of P2P overlays accordingly offers a series of advantages by countering the aforementioned adverse characteristics. The widespread deployment of pervasive environments and the plethora of proposed P2P systems, both call for a systematic way to study related research works. In this paper we review related research on P2P (peer-to-peer) overlay networks in pervasive environments. In this respect, we therefore analyze relevant requirements and discuss the application and deployment of P2P overlays and systems on top of the networking infrastructures that are supported by pervasive environments. Aspects such as scalability, resource discovery, algorithmic complexity, security, and support for dynamicity are examined for existing research works, in an effort to identify the most suitable P2P overlay for the requirements set by the nature of pervasive environments. We also taxonomize P2P overlays using the well-established classification scheme in regard to their structure or lack of it. Furthermore, we study the notions of multi-layer and bio-inspired P2P overlays that have great synergies with pervasive environments due to their inherent characteristics, especially in terms of flexibility and robustness. By describing and critically analyzing existing systems and discussing current research and open issues, we aim to instigate further research in this domain, while at the same time this work should serve as a point of reference for state-of-the-art P2P overlays in pervasive environments.

“…The term decentralised ubiquitous networking refers to networks that can provide end-users with access to data communication facilities in a pervasive manner [1]. The requirement for ubiquity of networks becomes more apparent with the necessity for end-users to be able to exchange information while on the move.…”

Our modern densely populated cities have created an Achilles heel for public safety services where natural or manmade disasters often result in high casualties. The 2005 London bombings have exposed the inadequacy of current First Responder (FR) communication systems for modern response operations. Additionally, FR organisations presently pay a tariff each time Public Protection and Disaster Relief (PPDR) communication technologies are used, rendering current PPDR communication expensive as compared to emerging license-exempt IP-based technologies. Decentralised ubiquitous networking proposes an alternative way of providing innovative secure wireless systems for IP-based, infrastructure independent PPDR communications. The ad-hoc setup capabilities of ubiquitous systems will reduce the cost for emergency response whilst allowing more flexible ways of communicating. Key characteristics of such systems are their ease of deployment and the interoperability across FR teams for national as well as cross border operations. In this paper we discuss how decentralised ubiquitous networking can assist emergency communications.

“…The peer-to-peer (P2P) technology has received increasingly popularity in local and even metro area network as an efficient communication structure since it matches the requirements of network load balancing and network resource equalization, and research has been presented on extending this idea to all of the future intelligent terminals to build ubiquitous P2P network [14]. However, the precondition of using P2P technology is the high intelligence of the terminal devices and the active requirements of information exchange, but currently, the basic purpose of building UHGSN is to provide the information of external physical world to the human society, so the P2P structure is improper.…”

Recent advances in wireless sensor network (WSN) and radio frequency identifier (RFID) have made it possible to extend current human-to-human communication to the future unified communication environment among human society, computer network and the external physical world. A ubiquitous hierarchical generalized-sensor network (UHGSN) is presented in this paper as a typical network model for such unified communication architecture. The sensor information processing unit and the hierarchical distributed agent server are introduced as the basic network elements in this architecture for effective information communication, and the topology, addressing and recovery problems are analyzed. As the basic applications, the combined “key word” based characterized searching mechanism and the performance monitoring processes are discussed, along with the corresponding protocol message definition and encoding format. Simulation results show the advancements of the presented hierarchical architecture and the job-list based characterized searching mechanism
