With the rapidly increasing adoption ofmore and more
powerful wireless-enabled personal mobile devices, users
are facing new opportunities and challenges in making
connections with other users in order to share relevant
information. This is especially true, given the dynamic
nature of potential interactions between typical mobile
users. Peer-to-peer applications have established themselves
as a popular and effective method for information
sharing in static environments, and our research is examining
the issues involved in peer-to-peer application deployments
for dynamic mobile ad hoc environments. The
natural context of direct local proximity between peer devices
coupled with user preferences as a context for information
filtering provides a powerful mechanism for dynamic
and opportunistic information exchange. In this
paper we demonstrate how peer-to-peer protocols can be
successfully implemented in a mobile ad hoc environment,
in order to enable information sharing applications.
Wediscuss the issues involved in the design and implementation
of mobile deployments of peer-to-peer applications,
and we illustrate these approaches in an information
sharing application for Bluetooth-enabled mobile
users.
