A model-based coordinated adaptability framework for QoS management in cooperative mobile and wireless applications

Published: 07 October 2006 Publication History

Abstract

The design of wireless cooperative mobile service-oriented applications with machine-to-machine communication capabilities requires providing solutions that include service and Quality of Service (QoS) provisioning as key features. Self-adaptability and self-organization are properties that help managing services and associated QoS for communication, vertically and horizontally. This paper addresses self-adaptability as a key feature for model-oriented and architecture-driven QoS management. We study the different abstraction levels at which the adaptability can be managed. Such decomposition allows mastering the complex handling of self-adaptive group-wide QoS for cooperative activities supported by wireless and mobile ad-hoc communications. A case study based on cooperative group-activity support is developed to illustrate the proposed concepts.
