Abstract

In this paper we will present various models and techniques for communication in dynamic networks. Dynamic networks are networks of dynamically changing bandwidth or topology. Situations in which dynamic networks occur are, for example: faulty networks (links go up and down), the Internet (the bandwidth of connections may vary), and wireless networks (mobile units move around). We investigate the problem of how to ensure connectivity, how to route, and how to perform admission control in these networks. Some of these problems have already been partly solved, but many problems are still wide open. The aim of this paper is to give an overview of recent results in this area, to identify some of the most interesting open problems and to suggest models and techniques that allow us to study them.
