Abstract

This chapter addresses the use of gossip-based protocols in mobile ad hoc networks. Gossip-based protocols have the advantage of requiring little or no structure to operate, making them particularly appealing to apply in dynamic systems such as wireless self-organizing networks. The use of gossip-based protocols is illustrated with three different, but related, middleware services, namely: broadcast, publish/subscribe, and data placement.
