Collaborative Spatial Data Sharing Among Mobile Lightweight Devices

by Zhiyong Huang, Christian S. Jensen, Beng Chin Ooi
"... Abstract. Mobile devices are increasingly being equipped with wireless peerto-peer (P2P) networking interfaces, rendering the sharing of data among mobile devices feasible and beneficial. In comparison to the traditional client/server wireless channel, the P2P channels have considerably higher bandw ..."

bandwidth. Motivated by these observations, we propose a collaborative spatial data sharing scheme that exploits the P2P capabilities of mobile devices. Using carefully maintained routing tables, this scheme enables mobile devices not only to use their local storage for query processing, but also

"... ABSTRACT This article aims at proposing some elements for a grounded theor y of the network society. The network society is the social structure characteristic of the Information Age, as tentatively identi ed by empirical, cross-cultural investigation. It permeates most societies in the world, in v ..."

For the sake of clarity, I will rst present the conceptual framework I use in my analysis of social structure. I will then proceed to enumerate the main transformations taking place in social structures

SIMULATION, DEVELOPMENT AND DEPLOYMENT OF MOBILE WIRELESS SENSOR NETWORKS FOR MIGRATORY BIRD TRACKING

"... Abstract: Mobile ad hoc networks (MANETs) and wireless sensor networks (WSNs) are two recently-developed technologies that uniquely function without xed infrastructure support, and sense at scales, resolutions, and durations previously not possible. While both offer great potential in many applicati ..."

, and Servilla. Limone reliably handles high levels of dynamics within MANETs. It does this through lightweight coordination primitives that make minimal assumptions about network connectivity. Agilla enables self-adaptive WSN applications via the integration of mobile agent and tuple space programming models

Provisioning

by Chien-liang Fok, Gruia-catalin Roman, Chenyang Lu
"... Heterogeneous wireless sensor networks represent a challenging programming environment. Servilla addresses this by offering a new middleware framework that provides service provisioning. Using Servilla, developers can construct platform-independent applications over a dynamic set of devices with div ..."

with diverse computational resources and sensors. A salient feature of Servilla is its support for dynamic discovery and binding to local and remote services, which enables flexible and energy-efficient in-network collaboration among heterogeneous devices. Furthermore, Servilla provides a modular middleware

by Chia-hsin Chen, Chung-wei Chen, Cynthia Kuo, Yan-hao Lai, Jonathan M. Mccune, Ahren Studer Adrian Perrig , 2008
"... Mobile users share the same expectations as wired users: they want to communicate with other people, they ex-pect the communication to be secure, and it should all be easy. However, mobility poses many challenges for security. Communication is often ad hoc, and the infras-tructure may be untrusted. ..."
Abstract - Add to MetaCart
. Secure communication relies on the distribution of au-thentic information among the communicating parties’ devices. This is a challenging problem because devices generally do not share pre-existing secrets. Current secu-rity protocols for distributing initial authentic informa-tion fail to consider
