Self-organising quorum systems for ad hoc networks

Unspecified Self-organising Quorum Systems for Ad Hoc Networks

There are many essential applications for quorum systems in ad-hoc networks, such as that of location servers in large-scale networks. Existing research proposes many approaches to the problems, many of which are incomplete, cumbersome, or incur significant cost. We describe and analyse a self-organising quorum system that creates an emergent intelligence to minimise overhead and maximise survi...

A self-organising distributed location server for ad hoc networks : a comprehensive analysis of using self-organising agents for storing location information in ad hoc networks

Towards Norm-Governed Self-Organising Networks

Ad hoc networks may be viewed as computational systems whose members may fail to, or choose not to, comply with the rules governing participation. From this perspective, there is a need for mechanisms to model, monitor and manage interactions in these networks in order to promote their smooth running and correct operation. We propose a norm-governed approach to satisfy these requirements, compr...

Location tracking using quorums in mobile ad hoc networks

We explore applications of quorum systems to the problem of tracking locations of mobile users in mobile ad hoc networks (MANETs). The location tracking system uses biquorum systems, a generalization of traditional quorum systems. We performed extensive simulations of the location tracking system. The simulation results show that our strict biquorum implementation has better performance than th...
