An improved virtualization layer to support distribution of multimedia contents in pervasive social applications

摘要: Abstract Pervasive social computing is a new paradigm of computer science that aims to facilitate the realization activities in whichever context, with aid information devices and considering relations between users. This vision requires means support shared experiences by harnessing communication capabilities connected devices, relying on direct or hop-by-hop communications among people who happen be close each other. In this paper, we present an approach turn mobile ad-hoc networks (MANETs) into stable environments for pervasive applications. The proposal based evolution VNLayer, virtualization layer defined procedures collaboratively emulate infrastructure stationary virtual nodes. We refine VNLayer introduce ones increase reliability responsiveness nodes, which serves boost performance routing virtualized version well-known AODV algorithm. prove advantages resulting scheme simulation experiments measurements real deployment application immersive collective learning about History museums their surroundings.
