Abstract
The number of mobile phones in Europe is higher than the number of
personal computers. The number of devices surrounding our daily
life, including tiny sensors, is rising exponentially. However, the
software and communication mechanisms used to network these devices
are still the ones that we have been devised 30 years ago for
standard computer systems. Mobile networks are by orders of magnitude
more dynamic than traditional systems and have often less resources
(energy, memory, bandwidth). This calls for a radical change in the
communication mechanisms applied.The proposed work will devise novel
mechanisms for the communication among networked mobile devices.
These mechanisms will have to combine spatial and temporal concerns
in order to be able to cope with the dynamicity and the resource
limitations of mobile systems. To understand and reason about these
concerns, we will investigate their formal underpinning through
appropriate calculi. Reliable communication is usually very expensive
in terms of resources but sometimes needed: we will devise new
techniques for obtaining different levels of reliability through
dynamic prediction of network behaviour. New methods for collecting
and sharing data will be designed, including novel adaptive
transactions, which adjust to the variablity of the network and to
the resources available.We will evaluate the appropriateness of these
mechanisms in small scale applications and in large scale simulations.
