This book reveals conceptual and algorithmic perspectives on research issues, findings, and approaches to mobile and wireless peer-to-peer (P2P) computing. Chapters are in sections on information retrieval and dissemination, overlay and mobility management, cooperative mechanisms, resource management, security, standards and protocols, architectures and platforms, and applications and services. Some specific areas detailed include data dissemination and query routing in mobile P2P networks, mobility support in a P2P system for publish/subscribe applications, enabling cooperation in MANET- based P2P systems, and incentives for resource sharing in ad hoc networks. Other subjects covered are integration and internetworking of fixed and mobile P2P systems, mobile P2P in cellular mobile networks, and service discovery approaches to mobile P2P computing. The book is for academic researchers, graduate students, and senior undergraduates in computer science, electrical and electronic engineering, and telecommunications. It is also intended for industry professionals such as R&D engineers, application developers, and technology business managers involved in the research, use, design, development, and deployment of mobile P2P technologies. Seet is affiliated with Auckland University of Technology, New Zealand.
