We propose a system that makes opportunistic use of mobile computing devices and ad hoc networking to provide a transient storage service to clients in a localized geographical region. The main challenge is to offset the potential data loss caused by node mobility with internode communication. We first argue on the basis of simulation and theory that such a service is feasible, given a sufficiently...
Pervasive social communications are instant social activities through communications based on mobile elements, e.g., via mobile ad hoc networks. Meanwhile, fashionable technology is becoming a trend in Human-Computer Interaction (HCI) design. It extends the traditional understanding of HCI by emphasizing aesthetic element. This paper investigates how to use fashionable technology in pervasive social...
This paper presents an efficient sharing protocol (iShare) that blends different wireless interfaces of the mobile device for content dissemination service. With iShare, mobile users download content from a source via the cellular link and at the same time form an ad hoc mesh network for peer-to-peer exchange of content data. The mesh remains robust to network dynamics, minimizes ad hoc communication...
New social networks are born each day, at a formal conference, at informal social gathering, at family reunions etc. Internet has already been playing an important role in modern way of socialising. But it is still not the optimal way of interaction as one has to be very active updating profiles. With the easy access to mobile devices, modern technologies have now started to adopt to new ways of socialising...
Nodes forming mobile ad hoc networks (MANET) can be logically partitioned into 1) a selfish user agent serving the interests of the end user (owner) and 2) a selfless network agent serving the broad interests of the network. The routing tasks performed by any mobile node can then be shared between physically distinct user and network agents. The user agent could be a laptop, PDA or any such mobile...
Most of current user mobile devices incorporate a WiFi interface. Peer communications are based on Ad-hoc network configuration, but the main handicap is the radio coverage. The success in deploying services and applications based on this concept needs the development of relay protocols and applications that allows intermediate users the reception and forwarding of information to destination users...
This paper presents the Peer2Me framework that enables developers to create mobile peer-to-peer applications. The framework provides an API that is easy to adopt, yet capable of creating advanced peer-to-peer applications. The framework was built to provide applications providing pure peer-to-peer network where all nodes have the same responsibility and services. Further, the framework provides services...
