Abstract

The ARDOR project introduces ubiquitous computing technology into infrastructureless environments such as mobile hospitals. The project is supported by the German Red Cross (DRK), which requires technology to faster establish mobile and temporary hospitals in areas where, for example, natural disasters hare occurred. ARDOR´s focus lies on middleware for mobile multi-hop ad hoc networks. A new algorithm called HYDRA has been proposed, which is a scalable and self-organizing distribution algorithm for service discovery components.
