About this book

• Introduces a new paradigm of information-sharing cooperation among mobile devices
•                                         Presents exciting new findings on peer-to-peer systems, location-dependent applications, and mobile computing
•                                         Helps engineers adapt their mobile hosts to changes in the availability of bandwidth and loss of connectivity to the internet
  

Wireless devices are becoming smaller, more user-friendly and more pervasive. Wireless networks have been rapidly deployed for providing wireless Internet access. Peer-to-Peer Computing for Mobile Networks: Information Discovery and Dissemination explores two main research domains: mobile peer-to-peer computing and wireless networking measurements and modelling.
This work presents a novel framework for mobile data discovery based on the peer-to-peer paradigm. It is designed for mobile devices that experience loss of connectivity to the Internet. It then analyzes the workload and access in large-scale wireless networks through extensive real-life measurement studies. Finally, it presents a methodology for modelling the wireless demand and access patterns.
Peer-to-Peer Computing for Mobile Networks: Information Discovery and Dissemination is designed for a professional audience composed of researchers and practitioners in industry. It is also suitable as an advanced-level text or reference book for students in computer science and electrical engineering.

Table of contents Preface.- Introduction.- System Architecture for Information Sharing.- Performance Evaluation of Information Dissemination.- Analysis of Data Dissemination.- Evaluating the Spatial Locality in Wireless Networks.- Network Connection Sharing in Wireless LANs.- Future Work.- Index.

From the reviews:
"This monograph successfully describes a combination of two very hot topics: peer-to-peer (P2P) and wireless networking. … The work is written in an easy-to-understand manner … the topic and its specific application are mainly recommended to wireless networking experts. … interesting for specialists who are dealing with P2P paradigm applications."
