Abstract

In this paper, we present a new kind of mobile ad hoc application, which we call mobile profile based distributed grouping (MoPiDiG), which is a combination of mobile clustering and data clustering. In MoPiDiG, each mobile host is endowed with a user profile and, while the users move around, hosts with similar profiles are found and a robust mobile group is formed. The members of a group are able to cooperate with each other or attain a goal together. In this article, MoPiDiG is defined and compared with related approaches. Furthermore, a modular architecture and algorithms are presented to build arbitrary MoPiDiG applications.
