  In order to overcome the limitations of the current Internet addressing, it is generally accepted that the Future Internet needs a separation between identifiers and network locators. Such identifier-locator split is also needed in infrastructure-less networks, such as Mobile ad hoc Networks (MANETs) and Delay Tolerant Networks, since they are an integral part of the Future Internet. Despite the amount of work in infrastructure-based networks, only a few proposals have considered how to apply this identifier-locator split in infrastructure-less networks. The contribution of this paper is an identifier-locator resolution system that can work in sparse MANETs, which are prone to network partitions. Our approach is an identifier-locator association discovery system, which uses periodic beacons to exchange the resolution information, avoiding the establishment of shared state between nodes. Our system exploits the broadcast nature of the wireless medium, opportunistic encounters, and information replication to disseminate identifier-locator associations across the network. The results of our extensive experiments demonstrate that our solution outperforms the related work, achieving a higher identifier-locator association discovery rate. association discovery system, which uses periodic beacons to exchange the resolution information, avoiding the establishment of shared state between nodes.

  Wireless networks enable mobility, multihoming, and Delay Tolerant Networks. In such networking environments, the principles of the Internet, i.e., the end-to-end principle and the combination of identity and location in IP addresses, cannot be applied. In this paper, we propose a scalable application centric approach for supporting mobility, multihoming, and interconnecting highly heterogeneous networks where the networks may belong to different networking paradigms, e.g., IP based and Delay Tolerant Networks. Applications and users that want to communicate, use communities. These communities are application specific overlays formed by entities (nodes or other communities) that want to support the application. Community members might together have several network technologies available, and the community manages internetworking information for the members to seamlessly integrate them. This integration is assisted by a community support layer that coordinates the communities with the available networks. An underlay layer common interface is used to access the different networks, allowing an implementation that considers its specific characteristics and challenges. We propose a global cryptographic based namespace for entities to enable internetworking across heterogeneous networks with different locator schemes. Identifiers are resolved to locators using a late binding approach. Furthermore, we analyse the communication challenges present in emergency and rescue operations and describe how to deal with them using our proposal.

  Wireless networks enable mobility, multihoming, and Delay Tolerant Networks. In such networking environments, the principles of the Internet, i.e., the end-to-end principle and the combination of location and identification in IP addresses, cannot be applied. In this paper, we propose a scalable application centric approach for mobility and multihoming that is able to interconnect highly heterogeneous networks where the networks may belong to different networking paradigms, e.g., IP based and Delay Tolerant Networks. Applications and users that aim to communicate, form communities. Community members might together have several network technologies available, and the community layer manages internetworking information for the members to seamlessly integrate these. Networking adaptation layers are used to provide a common interface for the different networks to the community layer. Addressing is based on names, cryptographic identifiers, and network locators and such that identifiers can also be created in infrastructure-less and disconnected situations.

  Information sharing is a mission critical key element in rescue and emergency operations. Mobile ad-hoc networks (MANETs) could provide a useful infrastructure to support information sharing, but appropriate applications are needed. To facilitate efficient application development for this type of infrastructure, middleware support is needed. In the Ad-Hoc InfoWare project, we are currently developing corresponding middleware services. In this talk we discuss the application requirements that are imposed onto the middleware services, and we outline our technical approach to address the corresponding challenges. The architecture we propose comprises five main building blocks, namely knowledge management, a local and a distributed event notification service, resource management, and security and privacy management. In the talk we will give some particular attention to the knowledge management component.

Delay Tolerant Streaming in Rescue Scenarios: Requirements Analysis and Resulting Industrial Issues - Version 2. Universitetet i Oslo. ISSN 9788273683823. Fulltekst i vitenarkiv Vis sammendrag

  In emergency intervention and rescue operations, the coordination and collaboration of the rescue personnel is highly important for the success of the mission. Data networks formed between the devices carried by the rescue personnel can provide the means for collaboration and coordination on the operation scene. Unfortunately, the unforeseeable conditions and characteristics (e.g., size of the scene, availabilities of access ways for the rescue personnel, availability and status of the infrastructure) of the rescue operations can hinder (e.g., intermittently unavailable network infrastructure) and disrupt (e.g., network partitions) communication of data networks. Even in these adverse conditions coordination and collaboration need to be enabled between the participants of the rescue operation. In this technical report we analyse the usage of streaming services (data, audio and video) to improve coordination and collaboration tasks in rescue and emergency operations. We present a detailed requirement analysis for middleware services that support streaming of data, imposed by this application domain from a research and an industrial perspective. For this purpose, we present two rescue scenarios, which helped us perform the requirements analysis for supporting streaming in intermittently connected networks. Additionally, we also present an example from a middleware for streaming voice traffic within large organizations with multiple working sites. Although these examples might seem different, they have similar requirements considering the availability and awareness of network resources.

Using routing information to optimize synchronization of replicated event notification mediators in sparse MANETs. Universitetet i Oslo. Fulltekst i vitenarkiv Vis sammendrag

  Mobile Ad-Hoc Networks maintain information about reachable nodes in the routing table. In many application scenarios, human groups play an important role. This is visible at the network level as independent network partitions which are for some time stable before their members change through merging or partitioning. We use the information from stable routing tables to optimize the synchronization of Mediators in our Distributed Event Notification System. In a stable partition each node has the same information, thus a single Mediator can efficiently coordinate the synchronization, while all other Mediators just receive updates. We show in our experiments that just a few seconds are needed until routing tables stabilize and all nodes have a common view of the partition. We present a heuristic which each individual node uses to determine the proper time to synchronize. Furthermore, we show how exceptions, like disappearing coordinating Mediators and unexpected messages, can be efficiently handled.

Developing mobile middleware : an analysis of rescue and emergency operations. Universitetet i Oslo. Fulltekst i vitenarkiv Vis sammendrag

  The coordination and collaboration of the personnel from various organisations involved in a rescue operation is important for a successful operation. Data networks can facilitate effective collaboration by providing an efficient and continuous flow of information at the accident scene (i.e., among rescue personnel) and with the outside world (i.e., headquarters of the rescue operation). Unfortunately, this is not easy to achieve because in many cases the infrastructure is not available or not working. If we can assume that all the rescue personnel is carrying a mobile computing device enabled for wireless communication, these devices can provide the necessary network infrastructure. The devices can create Sparse Mobile Ad Hoc Networks (Sparse MANETs), which can provide a best effort infrastructure for information flow, i.e., data sharing and dissemination. These types of networks are very dynamic in terms of network resource availability, e.g., bandwidth or connectivity between nodes. Additionally, the devices can be heterogeneous in terms of available hardware and software resources. Another source of heterogeneity is the way a device is used; this is determined by the affiliation of the end-user and its role. In such an environment, software applications need middleware support in order to best use the infrastructure provided by the Sparse MANET. In the Ad-Hoc InfoWare and MIDAS projects, we develop corresponding middleware services. In this paper, we present a detailed requirement analysis for middleware services imposed by the application domain. To understand better the impact of the application domain, we have analysed the structures of organisations and the intra-/inter-organisation interactions during a rescue operation. We present three different rescue scenarios, which helped us perform a detailed requirements analysis for the middleware components. We have also identified the technical challenges imposed by the highly dynamic environment. We propose a middleware framework composed of four services; knowledge manager, distributed event notification service with watchdogs’ component, resource manager, and security manager. The requirements presented here shaped our design decisions for these building blocks.

  With the increasing emphasis on dependability in complex, distributed or object-oriented systems, it is essential that system development can be done gradually and at different levels of detail. In this paper the treatment of faults is considered as a refinement process on specifications. An intolerant system specification is then a natural level of abstraction from which a fault-tolerant system can be developed in a stepwise manner. With each refinement step a fault and its treatment are introduced into the specification, so the fault-tolerance of the system increases during the design process. Different types of faults are identified and given separate refinement relations depending on how the tolerant system relates to abstract properties of the intolerant one in terms of safety and liveness. The specification language OUN utilized is based upon communication sequences (traces) between objects and first-order predicates on these traces. Criteria are defined for reasoning about liveness with sets of finite traces. Fault-tolerance refinement relations are precisely defined within this framework.
