“…This model was developed under the US Army CERDEC Dynamic Re-Addressing and Management for the Army (DRAMA) program to address the special needs of tactical mobile ad hoc networks. The use of several proprietary military protocols (YAP [60], DRCP/ DCDP [61], AMPS [62]) restricted the wider adoption of this system. This system adopts a policy-based approach and automatically enforces high-level policies using intelligent agents.…”

Wireless ad hoc networks pose major research challenges because of their increasing ubiquity and user-initiated formation. The motivation of this thesis emanates from the need for unrestricted wireless communication in a scalable and predictable manner. This need is accentuated by the increasing users' demand for spontaneous communication and the deficiencies of existing management frameworks. The objective is to propose a management framework able to leverage the potential of wireless ad hoc networks as an alternative communication method allowing them to coexist with other networks and to emerge as their flexible extension. In the context of this thesis, Wireless ad hoc netw>orks consist of a majority of end-user devices, capable of multihop communication, and optionally supported from limited infrastructure. The policy-based management (PBM) paradigm is employed to facilitate their self-management, combining design and theory with testbed implementation and simulation studies. The thesis contribution can be identified in tlnee areas: (1) Design o f a context-aware policy hierarchy and a hybrid role-based organisation model: The integration of policies with contextual feedback enables the creation of a closed control loop at different organisational levels, forming the basis for self-management. (2) Deployment o f distributed PBM functionality: The management of wireless ad hoc networks is possible with the decentralisation of traditional PBM concepts, based on the design and implementation of a Distributed Policy Repositoiy (DPR). The DPR assists in the coordination of dispersed policy decision points (PDPs) by facilitating the synchronisation of policies and offering a uniform view of management objectives to the PDPs. (3) Validation o f PBM functionality fo r self-management: A case study addresses the deployment of a wireless ad hoc network on a testbed, attempting to overcome the lack of central coordination and the occurrence of interference, by using policies to control its dynamic channel assigmnent. Finally, the framework is extended for service management, implementing adaptable service provisioning and offering service customisation to end-users. The elements of this thesis contribution are combined under a unified policy-based framework for the self-management of wireless ad hoc networks.

The communication skills of humans has grown thanks to the evolution of mobile devices become smaller, manageable, powerful, more autonomy and more affordable. This trend shows that in the near future each person will carry at least one high-performance device.These high-performance devices have some forms of communication incorporated: telephony network, wireless networks, bluetooth, among others.What can also be used for configuring mobile Ad Hoc networks.Ad Hoc mobile networks, are temporary and self-configuring networks, do not need an access point for exchange information between their nodes. Each node performs the router tasks as required. The nodes can move, change location at will. The autonomy of these devices depends on the strategies of how its resources are used. So that the protocols, algorithms or models should be designed to efficiently without impacting device performance seeking a balance between overhead and usability.It is important to define appropriate management of these networks, especially when being used in critical scenarios such as emergencies, natural disasters, wars. The present research shows an efficient solution for managing mobile ad hoc networks. The solution comprises two main components: the definition of a management model for highly available mobile networks and the creation of a hierarchical routing protocol associated with the model. The proposed management model, called High Availability Management Ad Hoc Network (HAMAN) is defined in a four-level structure: access, distribution, intelligence and infrastructure. The components of each level: types of nodes, protocols, structure of a node are shown and detailed. It also explores the communication interfaces between each component and the relationship of these with the levels defined. The Ad Hoc routing protocol proposed, called Backup Cluster Head Protocol(BCHP), use of cluster and hierarchies like strategies. Each cluster has a cluster head which concentrates the routing information and management and sent to the destination when out of cluster coverage area. To improve the availability of the network protocol uses a Backup Cluster Head who assumes the functions of the node of the cluster when it has a problem. The HAMAN model is validated accross the simulation of their BCHP routing protocol. BCHP protocol has been implemented in the simulation tool Network Simulator 2 (NS2) to be simulated, compared and contrasted with a hierarchical routing protocol Cluster Based Routing Protocol (CBRP) and a routing protocol called Reactive Ad Hoc On Demand Distance Vector Routing (AODV).

Disaster management and emergency response mechanisms have come of age post 9/11. Undoubtedly the introduction of Information Technology (IT) in emergency response management has been revolutionary from the perspective of better management of the emergency response. However, the various components which make up the IT infrastructure, such as sensors, computers, PDAs, network devices, etc, are inherently volatile in nature. To overcome this volatility and increasing the robustness of the emergency system we designed and developed a health monitoring tool, denoted DiNAR, for disaster systems. This tool will help the incident commander to actively monitor the state of the IT infrastructure which has been deployed in the field as well as the applications running at remote sites. DiNAR uses Manager-Agent based architecture and a novel agent initiated message exchange.
