Hot Diffusion - Tactical Information Management Substrate

Abstract

To summarize our results, ATC-NY developed a new suite of algorithms for information dispersion in HotDiffusion. Our testing indicates that, in comparison with more conventional approaches, HotDiffusion should excel under very sparse network conditions, especially if there is enough dynamism in connectivity. We expect its performance to degrade gracefully as conditions worsen. We measured performance using a full implementation of HotDiffusion, as well as simulation. The implementation runs on a testbed of handheld wireless nodes. It also runs on a conventional wired network with emulated wireless links.
