Mobile ad hoc network researchers face the challenge of achieving full functionality with good performance while linking the new technology to the rest of the Internet. A strict layered design is not flexible enough to cope with the dynamics of manet environments, however, and will prevent performance optimizations. The MobileMan cross-layer architecture offers an alternative to the pure layered approach that promotes stricter local interaction among protocols in a manet node.read more

A review on locomotion robophysics: the study of movement at the intersection of robotics, soft matter and dynamical systems
Jeffrey Aguilar,Tingnan Zhang,Feifei Qian,Mark Kingsbury,Benjamin McInroe,Nicole Mazouchova,Chen Li,Ryan D. Maladen,Chaohui Gong,Matthew Travers,Ross L. Hatton,Howie Choset,Paul B. Umbanhowar,Daniel I. Goldman +13 more
TL;DR: This review argues for the creation of a physics of moving systems-a 'locomotion robophysics'-which is defined as the pursuit of principles of self-generated motion, and discusses how such robophysical studies have begun to aid engineers in thecreation of devices that have begunto achieve life-like locomotor abilities on and within complex environments.

A cross-layer optimization of gnutella for mobile ad hoc networks
TL;DR: This paper investigates the performance of Gnutella, one of the most widely used peer-to-peer systems, when put through typical ad hoc conditions and proposes a cross-layer optimization of Gnutsella, which enhances its performance up to the expectations and makes it more suitable to the degree of self-organization and self-healing required in ad hoc environments.

Service-oriented sensor-actuator networks: Promises, challenges, and the road ahead
TL;DR: This paper introduces service-oriented SANETs (SOSANETs) as a novel approach for building a new generation of open, efficient, interoperable, scalable, application-aware SANets and investigates the benefits of SOSANets in the context of TinySOA, a prototype SOSANET that was developed on top of TinyOS.

Does the IEEE 802.11 MAC protocol work well in multihop wireless ad hoc networks
Shugong Xu,Tarek Saadawi +1 more
TL;DR: It is concluded that the current version of this wireless LAN protocol does not function well in multihop ad hoc networks, and it is doubt whether the WaveLAN-based system is workable as a mobile ad hoc testbed.

A cautionary perspective on cross-layer design
Vikas Kawadia,P. R. Kumar +1 more
TL;DR: It is argued that it behooves to exercise caution while engaging in cross-layer design, because unbridled cross- layer design can lead to spaghetti design, which can stifle further innovation and be difficult to upkeep.
