Abstract

Policy management has been an emerging management paradigm that has been extensively studied for the case of fixed networks and limited work has already been done for migrating it to mobile environments. Publish/subscribe has become an important architectural style for designing distributed systems and especially for mobile environments due to the loose coupling of the components involved. In this paper, we present a policy-based management system for Mobile Ad hoc Networks (MANETs) using the publish/subscribe paradigm for distributing policies to the managed nodes. Moreover, we enhance the publish/subscribe system with a novel request/response mechanism for tackling the problem of how newly joined nodes will retrieve previously introduced policies.
