ABSTRACT
Mobile ad-hoc networks (MANET) are expected to form the basis of future mission critical applications such as combat and rescue operations. In this context, communication and computational tasks required by overlying applications will rely on the combined capabilities and resources provided by the underlying network nodes. This paper introduces an integrated FlexFeed/A-globe technology and distributed algorithm for opportunistic resource allocation in resource-and policy-constrained mobile ad-hoc networks. The algorithm is based on agent negotiation for the bidding, contract and reservation of resources, relying primarily on the concept of remote presence. In the proposed algorithm, stand-in Agents technology is used to create a virtual, distributed co-ordination component for opportunistic resource allocation in mobile ad-hoc networks.
