Query Routing in Nomadic Environments with PUMAS
نویسندگان
چکیده
PUMAS is a framework based on agents and a Peer to Peer (P2P) approach, which allows nomadic users to access several information sources through different types of devices (eventually mobile). PUMAS provide the nomadic user with information adapted to her/his preferences and to the characteristics of the context of use (i.e. location, connection moment, inherent characteristics of the aceess device). In order to deliver adapted results, PUMAS has mechanisms of enrichment of the initial query, by means of adding criteria based on user preferences and context of use. This phase of query enrichment precedes a query routing process composed of three activities: query analysis, the selection of sources that are able to answer to the query and the redirection of the query towards these sources. We present the algorithms and knowledge managed by PUMAS agents in these activities and we illustrate the query routing process which PUMAS executes in order to deliver adapted information.

متن کاملEEQR: An Energy Efficient Query-Based Routing Protocol for Wireless Sensor Networks
Routing in Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) is a very challenging task due to the large number of nodes, their mobility and lack of proper infrastructure. Since the sensors are battery powered devices, energy efficiency is considered as one of the main factors in designing routing protocols in WSNs. Most of energy-aware routing protocols are mere energy savers that attempt to decrease the energy...

Mobile Devices (MD) are characterized by intrinsic reduced capacities (e.g., size of screen, memory, data storage). PUMAS (Peer Ubiquitous Multi-Agent System) is a framework based on agents whose main objective is to provide nomadic users with information adapted to different criteria (their preferences, their location, etc.) when they access Web-based Information Systems (WIS) using such MD. P...

It is expected that ubiquitous era will come soon. A ubiquitous environment has features like peer-to-peer and nomadic environments. Such features can be represented by peer-to-peer systems and mobile ad-hoc networks (MANETs). The features of P2P systems and MANETs are similar, appealing for implementing P2P systems in MANET environment. It has been shown that, however, the performance of the P...
