Descrizione articolo

Riassunto

Wireless devices are becoming smaller, more user-friendly and more pervasive. This book presents and discusses research results on data dissemination in mobile networks and peer-to-peer systems for mobile devices. The main focus is a novel resource-sharing mechanism for mobile devices that introduces a new paradigm of information-sharing cooperation among mobile devices not necessarily connected to the internet. The authors discuss ho to accelerate the data availability and enhance the dissemination and discovery of information when mobile hosts face changes in the availability of bandwidth and loss of connectivity to the Internet. The book is designed for researchers and practitioners in industry, and is also suitable for advanced-level students in computer science and electrical engineering.

Dalla quarta di copertina

Wireless devices are becoming smaller, more user-friendly and more pervasive. Wireless networks have been rapidly deployed for providing wireless Internet access. Peer-to-Peer Computing for Mobile Networks: Information Discovery and Dissemination explores two main research domains: mobile peer-to-peer computing and wireless networking measurements and modelling.

This work presents a novel framework for mobile data discovery based on the peer-to-peer paradigm. It is designed for mobile devices that experience loss of connectivity to the Internet. It then analyzes the workload and access in large-scale wireless networks through extensive real-life measurement studies. Finally, it presents a methodology for modelling the wireless demand and access patterns.

Peer-to-Peer Computing for Mobile Networks: Information Discovery and Dissemination is designed for a professional audience composed of researchers and practitioners in industry. It is also suitable as an advanced-level text or reference book for students in computer science and electrical engineering.
