Abstract
MobileMAN is a project funded by the Future and Emerging Technologies arm of the IST Programme of the the European Commission. This project investigates the potentialities of the Mobile Ad hoc NETworks (MANET’s) paradigm. Specifically, the project aims at defining and developing a metropolitan area, self-organizing, and totally wireless network, called Mobile Metropolitan Ad hoc Network (MobileMAN). The main technical output of this proposal can be summarized as follow. i) Development, validation, implementation and testing of the architecture, and related protocols, for configuring and managing a MobileMAN. ii) Physical implementation of this architecture for lowers layers (i.e., wireless technologies). iii) Integration of applications on top of our self-organized network. iv) Validation of the self-organizing paradigm from the social and economic standpoint.
This work was partially funded by the Information Society Technologies programme of the European Commission, Future and Emerging Technologies under the IST-2001-38113 MOBILEMAN project.
