Current technologies and security advances have made networked systems and applications very popular and widely used. The pervasive and practical aspects of wireless Mobile Ad Hoc Networks (MANET) made them very popular as well. This created the need for securing MANETs to provide users with authentic communications, secure and robust information exchange, and efficient security mechanisms. How...

MANETs are a sort of Wireless specially appointed system that typically has a routable systems administration environment on top of a Link Layer impromptu system. Mobile ad hoc networks (MANETs) turn out to be very useful in the current application areas for networks that require ad hoc connectivity as well as mobility. While the MANET routing protocols were designed it was assumed that there i...

Mobile Ad hoc NETworks (MANETs) are becoming more essential to wireless communications due to growing popularity of mobile devices. MANETs are also essential in Emergency Response situation where network information flow between deployed units is vital. In such cases voice and video transmission is essential to form a global view of the situation and decide on action. However, MANETs do not see...

Mobile ad-hoc networks (MANETs) are a form of wireless networks which do not require a base station for providing network connectivity. Mobile ad-hoc networks have many characteristics which distinguish them from other wireless networks which make routing in such networks a challenging task. Cluster based routing is one of the routing schemes for MANETs in which various clusters of mobile nodes...

In mobile ad hoc networks (MANETs), the provision of quality of service (QoS) guarantees is much more challenging than in wire line networks, mainly due to node mobility, multi hop communications, contention for channel access, and a lack of central coordination. The difficulties in the provision of such guarantees have limited the usefulness of MANETs. In the last decade, much research attenti...

An important and essential issue for mobile ad-hoc networks (MANETs) is routing protocol design that is a major technical challenge due to the dynamism of the network. MANETs have applications in rapidly deployed and dynamic military and civilian systems. The network topology in a MANET usually changes with time. Therefore, there are new challenges for routing protocols in MANETs since traditio...

Mobile ad-hoc networks (MANETs) and peer-to-peer (P2P) systems are ubiquitously emerging technologies which share a common underlying decentralized networking paradigm. Deploying Peer to Peer architecture over Mobile ad hoc networks results in an efficient content distribution network. However most of the time MANETs are intermittently connected (No complete path exists from source to destinati...

The dynamic topology and constraints of limited resources in mobile ad hoc networks (MANETs) pose unique challenges to execution of processes as compared to traditional distributed systems. The failure probability of the computing process increases when the system scales up. The paper presents an algorithm for the asynchronous recovery of a mobile host in cluster based and multi hop MANETs usin...

Networks are becoming much more complicated in their support of ubiquitous computing. For example, broadband mobile communications, wireless ad-hoc networks, IPv6, and so on. Technology is moving towards mobile ad-hoc networks (MANETs), which create temporary networks. The use of mobile devices for composing MANETs is growing, and it is necessary to provide agent service for them. In this paper...

Mobile ad hoc networks (MANETs) are recognised as one of the key infrastructures in ambient intelligence (AmI) due to their promising ubiquitous connectivity. Key factors for reliable performance of service protocols in MANETs are the manner in which they adapt to route changes caused by mobility and communicating traffic patterns. Our main idea to support AmI ubiquitous communications is to us...
