dc.description.abstract | Searching and sharing information is vital for distributed application, regardless of location, time and computation environment at the moment and future. Information is needed when
making decisions - the more and better information you have, the better will the decision be. In
the wired Internet, peer-to-peer communication has had a great impact how information is
shared. Now, when the world constantly is becoming more and more mobile there is a need to apply the same functionalities in this domain as well. Wired network technologies are based on assumptions like that the nodes have a fixed place and thus non-mobile. By comparison, mobile technologies get a dynamic network. In addition to the mobility limitation, the mobile devices
have much less resources than the nodes in a fixed network, so this also will introduce problems
to be solved.
This thesis we describe the design and implementation of the peer-to-peer infrastructure supporting mobile phone for searching and sharing information, including architectures,
topology and protocols for information exchange. | en_US |
