Tutorial 3: Dynamic Data Management in Mobile Ad hoc Networks

Speaker

Dr. Sanjay Madria, Department of Computer Science, University of Missouri-Rolla, USA

Abstract

Data Management in mobile ad hoc networks need dynamic data management due to fragile wireless connection and devices with very limited capacity. Also, traditional methods of data management in mobile environment generally consider only single hop client-server communication. On the other hand, in mobile ad hoc computing, the network communication is multi-hop. Most mobile technologies physically support broadcast data management mechanism and a node can take advantage of push to disseminate information to all mobile clients in its cell. However, nodes have limited battery power which needs to be preserved. In this tutorial, I will discuss data management issues in a mobile ad hoc environment. I will provide insights into the tradeoffs inherent in data management algorithms in mobile ad hoc computing environment.

Issues in sensor data processing and pervasive computing Tutorial slides will be provided along with copies of the some of the papers I wrote in this area including two tutorial book chapters which appeared recently.

Outline

1. Mobile Ad hoc Data Management Architecture
2. Dynamic Replication and Cache Management
3. Location and Context Aware Data Management
4. Broadcasting and Data Management
5. Transaction Management in Mobile Ad Hoc Networks

Intended audience

This tutorial is designed for academicians and researchers working in the area of wireless data processing. It is to help computer and database professionals/business analysts, such as, database and system administrators, designers, project and technical managers, people involved in planning, designing, developing, implementing and administrating wireless applications. It is also for students of computer and information science who are pursuing or planning to pursue a higher research degree.
