Description

Two new fields in the area of communications technology have recently appeared: mobile ad hoc networks and sensor networks. The emergence of these very promising systems is mainly due to great technological progress in the field of wireless communication protocols; they will make it possible to offer a broad range of new applications in both civilian and militarian contexts.
However, the inherent characteristics of these system contain new challenges. This book deals with various important fields related to the evolution and growth of these flexible and self-organized networks. The authors tackle critical problems such as the design of unicast/multicast routing protocols, support for quality of service, security mechanisms for routing and data transmission, service location, techniques for clustering/self-organization, mobility of code and fault-tolerance techniques.
The discussion adopts an analysis-oriented approach which aims to cover current cutting-edge aspects of these fields and to highlight potential future developments, making it essential reading for anyone wishing to gain a better understanding of these exciting new areas.
