Abstract

Traditional centralized management approaches are not suitable for Ambient Networks (ANs), since centralized management systems neither scales well nor adapts fast enough to changing topologies and network compositions. To meet the requirements for AN management systems, we propose the use of distributed approaches. Specifically, we demonstrate the validity of these approaches through three instantiations: (i) a solution for real-time AN monitoring, (ii) a solution for load balancing in wireless networks and (iii) a solution for resource discovery in AN.
