The desire to be connected anytime and anywhere has led to the development of wireless networks, opening new vista of research in pervasive and ubiquitous computing. Mobile Ad Hoc Networks (MANETs) use portable devices such as mobile phones, laptops or personal digital assistants (PDAs) for spontaneous establishment of communication. Most existing research in the area of mobile Ad Hoc Networks ...

The development in technologies the mobile networks has been rapidly change, especially Mobile Ad-hoc and Vehicular Ad-Hoc networks. Due to nature of the fields, the mobile sensor network replaced the fixed sensor network. In these fields, the topology dynamically changes time by time due to speed and congested environment because of this routing is a crucial and challenging issue. For routing ...

Mobile entities with wireless links are able to form a mobile ad-hoc network. Such an infrastructureless network does not have to be administrated. However, self-organizing principles have to be applied to deal with upcoming problems, e.g. information dissemination. These kinds of problems are not easy to tackle, requiring complex algorithms. Moreover, the usefulness of pure ad-hoc networks is ...

We present some properties of trust establishment in mobile, ad-hoc networks and illustrate how they differ from those of trust establishment in the Internet. We present a framework for trust establishment in mobile ad-hoc networks and argue that peer-to-peer networks are especially suitable to solve the problems of generation, distribution, and discovery of trust evidence in mobile ad-hoc netw...

In mobile ad hoc networks there is no pre-existing network infrastructure, and the topology in such networks may be highly dynamic. This gives rise to various challenges to the network routing as well as to network applications. In this paper we discuss the issue of automatically finding services and selecting optimal servers in mobile ad hoc networks, and propose service awareness as a concept...

The increasing number of mobile devices enabled by wireless communication significantly change security issues and challenge threat modeling research in many ways. Particularly because of the vulnerability of wireless communication channels in addition to the insecure and lacking infrastructure, Mobile Ad-Hoc Networks (MANETs) require an adjusted Threat Model in contrast to the Threat Model fac...
