Making Motor Bikers Come Together - Fast Moving Users and Mobile Ad Hoc Networks

چکیده
This paper introduces the Hocman prototype, which supports mobile interaction among motorcyclists. The design is based on findings from an ethnographic field study. Motorcyclists are a community with a strong social commitment. They use their bikes together, which allows for visual interaction. However, their extreme mobility creates problems in coming together. Recently the group studied have started to use a website on the Internet, but interactional issues still remain. For this reason we have developed a new application based on web technology. It is built for handheld computers and wireless communication, allowing the users to share rich content when in the vicinity of each other during motorbike activities.

متن کاملThe Hocman Prototype - Fast Motor Bikers and Ad Hoc Networking
We introduce Hocman, a mobile HTTP peer-to-peer application, which supports social interaction among motorcyclists. The system enables sharing of multimedia content, such as HTML documents, audio clips and images over ad-hoc networks. The design derives from requirements found in an ethnographic fieldwork on motorcyclists. Our understanding of speed, the vast setting and collaborative activitie...
متن کاملA Survey of Solutions to Protect Against All Types of Attacks in Mobile Ad Hoc Networks
In recent years mobile networks have expanded dramatically, compared with other wireless networks. Routing protocols in these networks are designed with the assumption that there is no attacker node, so routing protocols are vulnerable to various attacks in these networks. In this paper, we review the network layer attacks and then we simulate the impact of black hole attack on ad hoc on demand...
متن کاملImproving Quality of Service Routing in Mobile Ad Hoc Networks Using OLSR
Mobile ad hoc networks (MANET) are constructed by mobile nodes without access point. Since MANET has certain constraints, including power shortages, an unstable wireless environment and node mobility, more power-efficient and reliable routing protocols are needed. The OLSR protocol is an optimization of the classical link state algorithm. OLSR introduces an interesting concept, the multipoint r...
متن کاملA New Intrusion Detection System to deal with Black Hole Attacks in Mobile Ad Hoc Networks
By extending wireless networks and because of their different nature, some attacks appear in these networks which did not exist in wired networks. Security is a serious challenge for actual implementation in wireless networks. Due to lack of the fixed infrastructure and also because of security holes in routing protocols in mobile ad hoc networks, these networks are not protected against attack...
