Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The rapid proliferation of advanced mobile devices has created a growing demand for data content. Existing approaches cannot keep up with the large volume of content generated and requested, without the deployment of new expensive infrastructure. Exchanging content of interest opportunistically, when two nodes are in range, presents a low cost and high bandwidth alternative for popular, bulky content? Yet, efficiently collecting, storing, and sharing the content while preventing selfish users from impairing collaborative ones, poses major challenges. In this thesis, we start by discussing the state of the art in terms of proposed solutions for both point-to-point content routing and point-to-multipoint content sharing solutions in DTN(s) (Delay Tolerant Network). Our main observations were i) despite a large amount of effort invested in the design of efficient routing protocols for DTN, there has not been a similar focus on storage management and scheduling policies, and (ii) in addition to dealing with the resources management challenges, distributed (or peer-to-peer) content sharing systems over non-altruistic mobile devices have one more important issue to deal with : to ensure enough nodes collaborate to make the system interesting to participants. This latter goal is often conflicting with optimal resources management policies. Following this preliminary study, we try to solve the highlighted problems in their foundations. We focus furst on the problem of optimal resource management in the context point-to-point content routing through a DTN. This problem was first studied in scenarios related to environment and habitat monitoring based on sensor networks, in project willing to connect rural villages, and even in scenarios related to space technologies based on DTN protocols. We propose a practical and efficient joint scheduling and drop policy that can optimize different performance metrics, such as average delay and delivery probability. We first use the theory of encounter-based message dissemination to derive the optimal policy based on global knowledge about the network (GBSD, Global knowledge Based Scheduling and Drop). Then, we introduce a method that estimates all necessary parameters using locally collected statistics. Based on this, we derive a distributed scheduling and drop policy that can approximate the performance of the optimal policy in practice (HBSD, History Based Scheduling and Drop). Finally, we study how sample statistics can reduce the signaling overhead of our algorithm and examine its behavior under different congestion regimes. In a second effort, we revisit the problem of optimal resource management in the context of large scale interests-driven content sharing over non-altruistic mobile devices. Our ultimate goal is to enable people, through channel based architecture to express their interests, head out in the real world and wait to get notified whenever a content that matches their interests is retrieved. To achieve this, we propose Mobi'Trade as candidate architecture. Mobi'Trade is a utility driven trading system for efficient content sharing on top of a DTN. It does not only take care of the network and device resources, but also carefully considers : (i) the propagation of interests of participating users, (ii) the matching of these interests to individual node mobility patterns, and (iii) the willingness of involved users to collaborate. While simple tit-for-tat (TFT) mechanisms can force nodes to give one to get one, dealing with the inherent tendency of peers to take much but give back little, they can quickly lead to deadlocks when some (or most) of interesting content must be somehow fetched across the network. To resolve this, Mobi'Trade relies on a trading mechanism that allows a node merchant to buy, store and carry content for other nodes (its clients) so that it can later trade it for content it is personally interested in. To exploit this extra degree of freedom, Mobi'Trade nodes continuously profile the type of content requested and the collaboration level of encountered devices. An appropriate utilily function is then used to collect n optimal inventory that maximizes the expected value of stored content for future encounters, matched to the observed mobility patterns, interest patterns, and collaboration levels of encountered nodes. Both of resources management solutions for point-to-point DTN routing (HBSD) and our channel base content sharing architecture (Mobi'Trade) have been validated respectively through extensive NS-2 and NS-3 simulations along with a multitude of synthetic mobility models and real mobility traces. Furthermore, in order to ensure the feasibility of our protocols and offer them to users, we implemented respectively HBSD and Mobi'Trade for the DTN2 reference architecture and on real Android powered mobile devices and did further experiment in real environments.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Abstract: Communication networks can be either infrastructure-based or infrastructure-less. Information dissemination and routing are two important research areas in networking, as the first is one of the ultimate goals forconstructing a network and the second provides the underlying support for disseminating information among nodes within the network. This dissertation presents three major research results, with the first falling into the category of information dissemination on the Internet, specifically, server replica placement, and the second and the third into the category of information dissemination and routing in wireless ad hoc networks, respectively. The World Wide Web is a popular mechanism that creates a client-server information sharing model to facilitate information dissemination across the Internet. With the explosive growth of the WWW, popular Web sites experience increasingly heavy workloads and a large percentage of Internet traffic. To alleviate the workload and the network traffic, these sites usually place a set of servers geographically distributed across the Internet and replicate their contents to the selected replicas. The server replica placement scheme addresses the problem of properly placing a set of replicas among sets of candidate sites to optimize system performance gain. More specifically, using an optimum replica placement algorithm, we study the relationship between the replica size and the optimized performance gain through a trace-driven simulation. We also perform a parametric study to find out the effect of client demand patterns on the optimized performance gain growth. The field of wireless ad hoc networks has become a prosperous research field in recent years thanks to the rapid development and popularity of various mobile devices. The lack of infrastructure allows a fast and inexpensive deployment of wireless ad hoc networks and, thus, makes them suitable for surveillance applications. However, the ad hoc networks' flexibility and convenience do come at a price. The infamous characteristics of these networks, such as unstable wireless media, dynamic network topology due to link disruptions and node mobility, and power constrained wireless devices, require protocols designed for these networks to be fully distributed, energy efficient, fault (disruption) tolerant, and scalable. Following these design rules, we propose Scalable Data Storage and Retrieval Service (SDSR), to enhance data dissemination for large-scale wireless ad hoc networks, and Disruption Tolerant Geographic Routing protocol (DTGR) to enhance the performance of geographic routing schemes in the presence of frequently occurring disruptions for wireless ad hoc networks.

Book excerpt: This book aims to provide the latest research findings, innovative research results, methods and development techniques from both theoretical and practical perspectives related to intelligent social networks and collaborative systems, intelligent networking systems, mobile collaborative systems, secure intelligent cloud systems, etc., as well as to reveal synergies among various paradigms in such a multi-disciplinary field intelligent collaborative systems. With the fast development of the Internet, we are experiencing a shift from the traditional sharing of information and applications as the main purpose of the Web to an emergent paradigm, which locates people at the very centre of networks and exploits the value of people's connections, relations and collaboration. Social networks are also playing a major role in the dynamics and structure of intelligent Web-based networking and collaborative systems. Virtual campuses, virtual communities and organizations strongly leverage intelligent networking and collaborative systems by a great variety of formal and informal electronic relations, such as business-to-business, peer-to-peer and many types of online collaborative learning interactions, including the emerging e-learning systems. This has resulted in entangled systems that need to be managed efficiently and in an autonomous way. In addition, latest and powerful technologies based on grid and wireless infrastructure as well as cloud computing are currently enhancing collaborative and networking applications as a great deal but also facing new issues and challenges. The principal purpose of the research and development community is to stimulate research that will lead to the creation of responsive environments for networking and, at longer-term, the development of adaptive, secure, mobile and intuitive intelligent systems for collaborative work and learning.
