SELMA: A middleware platform for self-organizing distributed applications in mobile multihop ad-hoc networks∗
Daniel Görgen, Hannes Frey, Johannes K. Lehnert, Peter F. Sturm · 2004
This work presents a middleware architecture for distributed applications communicating solely over a mobile multihop ad-hoc network. The design of the platform is based on the marketplace pattern where communication among negotiating components of an application concentrates on bounded geographical areas, called marketplaces. The marketplace pattern allows to develop resource saving and selforganizing applications needing no additional administrative overhead and coping well with permanent network partitions.
