Self-Organizing MANET Management

Abstract. In recent years, mobile ad-hoc networks (MANETs) have been deployed in various scenarios, but their scalability is severely restricted by the human operators’ ability to configure and manage the network in the face of rapid change of the network structure and demand patterns. In this paper, we present a self-organizing approach to MANET management that follows general principles of engineering swarming applications.
