An Investigation into Component Reconfigurability Management for Dependable Ad-Hoc Networking

Abstract

This report results from a contract tasking University of Strathclyde to investigate requirements for robust reliable application communications in ad-hoc distributed mobile computer networks. Specifically, the contractor will investigate code mobility in ad-hoc collaborations and apply his insights into dynamic fault tolerant binding to the management of reliability. To implement and evaluate these issues, a heterogeneous, mobile, reconfigurable computer network will be assembled. This network will provide the required computational and physical mobility and will consist of hand-held computers and more powerful development laptop computers supported by a wireless Ethernet system (based on Lucent's WaveLan technology). Details of the deliverable are described below.
