Data sharing over mobile ad hoc networks

Abstract

Mobile ad hoc networks offer new challenges for distributed applications designers, such as mobile and lightweight terminals, or the lack of a reliable network infrastructure. In this article we focus on the problem of data sharing in MANETs and we propose a peer to peer distributed shared memory for mobile ad hoc network. It uses data replication to prevent the users needs and the potential loss of data a terminal disparition could cause.These data are editable and we offer a mechanism to maintain consistency between the replicas in an efficient way.
