Conclusion/Questions
MANETs
Mobile Ad-hoc Networks
PDAs, Smart Phones, Laptops, Cars
Multiple mediums

802.11, bluetooth, radio
Form networks around unstable links
Examples (Shameless Plug)

Sensor Networks, RescueMesh (WIISARD)
Programming for MANETs
Concern is power

MANETs usually on low power devices
What can we give up?

Quality of Result (QoR)
SpatialViews
Nodes

Defined by location in space, time and
services
Virtual Network

Collection of virtual nodes
Network Iterator


Used to iterate through the nodes in the
network
Can be a tool to control QoR vs. Power
Syntax and Semantics
Services
 Java Interfaces
Location
 GPS, Cricket (MIT)
Time
 Granularity, limit
public interface LightSensor {
public float read();
...
}
public interface SpaceDefs {
public static final Space CampusB=new Rectangle(...);
...
}
public class AverageLighting {
public void static main(String[] args) {
sumreduction float s=0;
sumreduction int n=0;
spatialview sv=LightSensor @
SpaceDefs.CampusB % 320;
visiteach x : sv every 1.0 forever
{ s += x.read(); n++; }
if (n>0)
System.out.println(Float.toString(s/n));
}
}
Syntax and Semantics cont.
Program vars



Local – r/w in defined iter, ro in nested iters
Container – r/w in defined iter, wo in nested
iters
Reduction – associated with specific
operation
Service vars

Never leave node, r/w in defined iter
Implementation
Modified Java
SmartMessages


Transport
Java, KiloByte VM and CLDC library
Iteration Types
Serial


Poor failure model
Can also do flooding to help
Geographic iteration

Uses locations and greedy algorithm
Geographic Flood

Cloning based on quadtree, not network
topology
Extras
Loop Flattening

Optimization for services on the same box
Security

Assumed
Conclusions
MANETs pose a benefit to society
New programming challenges are given by
these environments

Recognized by academic community with
conferences like International Conference for
Compilers, Architecture and Synthesis for Embedded
Systems
SpatialViews supplies a good interface for
dealing with these new problems on MANETs
