KEPPAN: Towards autonomic communications in mobile ad-hoc networks

Abstract:

This paper presents a practical approach to manage mobile ad-hoc networks around the service requirements of their forming hosts. The solution consists of a middleware layer called KEPPAN, designed to exploit incomplete and changeable information about virtually any aspect that influences service provision. Having formal languages at the interfaces with the networking and application levels, this approach represents a step towards autonomic, self-managed networks of mobile devices, in expectation of further advances in software engineering and artificial intelligence. Preliminary evaluation results are reported. © 2007 IEEE.
