TypeCast: Type-Based Routing in Wireless Ad-Hoc Networks

Overview Type-based communication is proposed as an effective paradigm to enable group communication in wireless ad-hoc networks (MANETs). In this paradigm, type is used as the fundamental construct for addressing and routing messages. Type hierarchies are used to dynamically control group size; and object-oriented principles such as subtyping and multiple in-heritance are utilized to construct new groups from existing ones. This paper presents the design of TypeCast, a routing protocol that directly supports type-based communication. TypeCast leverages efficiency and mobility management provided by MANET multicast protocols and extends them by adding a Bloom filter-based type encoding and routing mechanism. TypeCast is fully decentralized and supports subtyping and type-composition.

Tony Hallett's After These Messages: 3's mad ad

Since that time, however, their messages have been somewhat mixed. The first couple of times I saw the latest TV ad I thought I was getting something from HSBC. The latest style of TV ad from the operator is, frankly, nuts - but I sort of like it...

Radioactive: Today a jam, tomorrow the open road?

The routing algorithm is based on the position of the vehicles and is able to handle the typically fast changes of ad hoc networks. Because the range of a wi-fi link is limited to a few hundred meters, every vehicle also serves as a router...

Virtualisation: Architectual Considerations and other Evaluation Criteria

In the past several years, server virtualisation technology has moved quickly and firmly into the IT mainstream. Of the many approaches to system virtualisation available in the market today, VMware's hypervisor architecture has gained the greatest market acceptance. This paper examines the architectural issues, solution support, and enterprise readiness required when deploying such a virtualisation solution.
