Includes a preface written by Professor Leonard Kleinrock, Distinguished Professor of Computer Science, UCLA, USA This book discusses and explores the concept of mobile cloud, creating an inspiring research space for exploiting opportunistic resource sharing, and covering from theoretical research approaches to the development of commercially profitable ideas. A mobile cloud is a cooperative arrangement of dynamically connected communication nodes sharing opportunistic resources. In this book, authors provide a comprehensive and motivating overview of this rapidly emerging technology. The book explores how distributed resources can be shared by mobile users in very different ways and for various purposes. The book provides many stimulating examples of resource-sharing applications. Enabling technologies for mobile clouds are also discussed, highlighting the key role of network coding. Mobile clouds have the potential to enhance communications performance, improve utilization of resources and create flexible platforms to share resources in very novel ways. Energy efficient aspects of mobile clouds are discussed in detail, showing how being cooperative can bring mobile users significant energy saving. The book presents and discusses multiple examples of mobile clouds applications, based on both existing commercial initiatives as well as proof-of-concept test-beds. Visions and prospects are also discussed, paving the way for further development. As mobile networks and social networks become more and more reliant on each other, the concept of resource sharing takes a wider and deeper meaning, creating the foundations for a global real-time multidimensional resource pool, the underlying infrastructure for shareconomy. Above all, this is an inspiring book for anyone who is concerned about the future of wireless and mobile communications networks and their relationship with Social networks. Key Features: Provides fundamental ideas and promising concepts for exploiting opportunistic cooperation and cognition in wireless and mobile networks Gives clear definitions of mobile clouds from different perspectives Associates mobile and wireless networks with social networks, creating a vast fertile ground for novel developments in both research and practical applications Considers research directions, emerging trends and visions This book is an excellent resource for wireless/networking researchers in industry and academia, students and mobile phone programmers. Managers interested in new technology developments, service providers, network operators, and those working in the gaming industry will also find the book insightful.

Maritime piracy is the cause of widespread international concern, and the number of pirate attacks has increased substantially in recent years. Many commercial vessels are inherently vulnerable to attack because of their size and relative slowness, and technological improvements have resulted in smaller crews on large vessels, whilst the absence of enforcement agencies in international waters has served only to make pirates more daring. Collaborative human-centric information support systems can significantly improve the ability of every nation to predict and prevent pirate attacks, or to recognize the nature and size of an attack rapidly when prevention fails, and improve the collective response to an emergency. This book presents the papers delivered at the NATO Advanced Study Institute (ASI) Prediction and Recognition of Piracy Efforts Using Collaborative Human-Centric Information Systems, held in Salamanca, Spain, in September 2011. A significant observation from previous NATO Advanced Study Institutes and Workshops was that domain experts responsible for maritime security were not fully aware of the wide variety of technological solutions available to enhance their support systems, and that although technology experts have a general understanding of the requirements in security systems, they often lacked knowledge concerning the operational constraints affecting those who implement security procedures. This ASI involved both technology and domain experts, as well as students from related fields of study. It offered an opportunity for them to discuss the issues surrounding the prediction, recognition and deterrence of maritime piracy, and will be of interest to all those whose work is related to this internationally important issue.
"Efficient use of the resources in mobile ad hoc networks (MANETs) is of great importance to maintain the required quality of service and to prolong the network lifetime. The utilization of the resources such as bandwidth and energy depends on a number of conditions such as network size, node density, and load distribution. These conditions are uncontrollable and often vary throughout the operation of the network. In order to efficiently use the resources, the protocols that determine the behavior of the network should dynamically adapt to these changing conditions. My thesis is that a protocol architecture for MANETs that dynamically adapts to changing conditions based on cooperation and information sharing leads to more efficient use of the system resources compared to competition based architectures. In particular, in this dissertation we explore the benefits of adaptation based on cooperation and information sharing at the medium access control (MAC) and network (routing) layers of the protocol stack. At the MAC layer, we develop an analytical model that reflects the relationships between protocol parameters and the overall performance of the protocol under various network conditions. This model reveals that the protocol parameters at the MAC layer can be adjusted to make best use of the channel resources depending on the application requirements and network conditions obtained through information sharing, such as average network load density. In order to provide a dynamic system that adapts not only to changing conditions but also to spatially non-uniform traffic load distributions, a lightweight dynamic channel allocation algorithm and a cooperative load balancing algorithm that facilitate efficient use of resources based on local information sharing are proposed. Through extensive simulations, we show that both dynamic channel allocation and cooperative load balancing improve the bandwidth efficiency under non-uniform load distributions compared with protocols that do not use these mechanisms as well as compared with the IEEE 802.11 uncoordinated protocol. Properly routing the data over a MANET is another challenging topic due to the dynamic behavior of the network, yet it is also crucial in terms of efficient use of resources. Two important routing schemes, network-wide broadcasting and multicasting, are investigated for trade-offs and merged into a single framework. The framework allows the selection of the optimal routing scheme based on the network conditions obtained through information sharing, leading to the best use of the system resources in terms of spectrum efficiency and energy efficiency. The interaction of a network with other networks coexisting at the same site also strongly determines its efficiency. We developed an approach for symbiotic networking using hybrid nodes, and our results clearly show that symbiotic networking can provide vital support to co-located networks, which is especially important in resource-constrained networks such as MANETs. Although theoretical analysis and simulations are efficient tools to comparatively evaluate the efficiency of different protocols, they cannot reflect many of the challenges for real implementation of these protocols, such as clock-drift, synchronization, imperfect physical layers, and interference from devices outside of the system. In order to prove the feasibility of the MAC and Network layer algorithms proposed in this thesis, a working prototype system that incorporates these algorithms is implemented on the Microsoft Research's SORA software defined radio (SDR) platform. The experiments with the prototype system show not only the viability of real time communications but also show the resilience of the system against interference. To sum up, a variety of methods ranging from MAC layer techniques for optimal spatial reuse and dynamic channel allocation, to network layer techniques for optimal data dissemination schemes and symbiotic interactions with co-located networks are described in this thesis. These concepts enable protocol architectures for MANETs that dynamically adapt to changing conditions based on cooperation and local information sharing. The efficient use of the limited bandwidth and energy resources obtained through such protocol architectures with a realistic set of constraints ensure the viability of future applications"--Page vi-viii.
