A Lightweight Drive-Through Management Service for Internet-enabled Ad-Hoc Networks (SGER)

As the Internet evolves into a global communication infrastructure,  it is becoming complex and ubiquitous. It is bringing together  heterogeneous collections of hosts and network devices such as  wireless mesh networks. A consequence of this ever-increasing  scale, complexity and agility is that problems of managing this  infrastructure keep getting worse. Research concentrating on  streamlining fundamental issues has shown that absence of a single  end-to-end lightweight hybrid network management solution with the  necessary levels of context awareness and adaptability, while much  desirable, has not yet been realized. Consequently, the community  is still detained from fully gaining from many of the emerging  applications of the cyber-infrastructure.   This research involves an exploratory investigation towards a  ?drive through? network management platform for ?on-the-fly?  Internet-enabled mobile networks. Objectives include new conceptual  approaches that couple application, and middleware designs with design  of network management services; novel theoretical models that tap into  in-network management characteristics of pervasive computing so that  missing or conflicting information gathered from multiple participating  nodes can be tolerated; augmentation of security management algorithms  with trustworthiness functionalities; theoretical schemes that examine  epistemic uncertainty by fusing imprecision, uncertainty and event  synchronization with belief theory; and extensions to archetype  platforms for supporting autonomic network management and configuration.  The intellectual merit of the research lies in presenting a first step  towards synthesis of integrated network management theoretical and design  solutions that support traditional network management protocols and  functionalities in addition to the dynamic aspects of infrastructures-less  networks. Although some risk exists, focused research can overcome the  current barriers. The broader impact of the research is that this work  will pave the way to transformative next generation network management  paradigms and tools.
